[Bug 1089090] Re: Partitioning does not work correctly during install of Raring ARM

[Carla Sella]

I can reproduce this bug also on today's Raging image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130211/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.
1 - Format a USB key with one FAT32 partition.
2 - Start installing Raring on a Pandaboard from the SD card onto the USB key formatted at point 1.
3 - During install select "something else" from the installation type window.
4 - Delete the FAT32 partition, and try to create a smaller one, for instance I have a 16GB USB Key and I tried to create a 6GB ext2 / partition.
After confirming the creation of the 6GB ext2 partition you will be presented with a 16GB ext2 partion, the dimension of the partition is as big as the USB key and you will not be able to create two smaller ones, for instance.

Title:
  Partitioning does not work correctly during install of Raring ARM

Bug description:
  During installation  of this image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20121211/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img on a pandaboard I have problems with partitioning a USB key on which I want to install Raring.
  The USB key has no partition table.
  When I get to the partitioning window, I create a partition table on the USB key, then I add a ext2 partition changing the size, the proposed size is 16009 MB, I change it to 8000, select / as mount point, confirm, but I get a 16009 MB partition created even if I changed it to 8000.
  Tried this various times but the behaviour is always the same.
