[Bug 290928] Re: Allows resizing partition to create a new partition that's too small for installation

[Phillip Susi]

It looks like an attempt was made to fix this.  When manual
partitioning, if I try to use a root less than 3.2 gb, it tells me it
needs to be at least that large, go back and fix it.  Go with 3.3 gb,
and it fills up, so it looks like the minimum is just not big enough.
The number probably just needs changed to 5gb.

Title:
  Allows resizing partition to create a new partition that's too small
  for installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Ubiquity allows the user to resize a partition, creating a new
  partition that's too small for the install to fit in.  In my case, it
  allowed me to create a 2.2 GB partition as part of resizing, which is
  just too small to fit the installation into.  This results in a ENOSPC
  ubiquity dialog, then the install fails.

  This is because the minimum size for the new partition is hardcoded in
  partman-auto.  We can calculate a better value for this, but we wont
  be able to factor for files that will not be copied as part of the
  blacklisting.  This should be ok, as the user will want a little extra
  space for their files anyway.
