Title:
  Ubiquity hangs at partitioning for autoresize with disk that has
  partitions aligned in a way that may cause bad performance

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To reproduce have a a disk install the March 23 dialy amd 64 iso for
  ubuntu onto a  seagate expansio disk that is not aligned with the
  block size that has free sapce where an old partiotn I forced to be
  ther was. Select go back from the menu and then fall back to manual
  partioning of the disk and try another alignment. The installer will
  try to install the changing but a laoding cursor will take over
  ubiquity and has been going for several hours and nothing show on
  /var/log/syslog.
