[Bug 366282] Re: partitions that overflow disk not handled gracefully

[Joeri Eilander]

my installation will not go further than 50% when copying files, because
i think the setup hasnt detected what a maximum of partitions are,
always got a message that i have a faulty disk, and that i can buy some
cleanup products in most electronic shops.

Title:
  partitions that overflow disk not handled gracefully

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When I get to the partitioning stage of the install process, the
  partitioner does not correctly detect my existing partition table.

  Instead I get only an option to format the entire disk or manually
  create a new partition table.

  This guy seems to have the same issue:
