[Bug 1437918] [NEW] ubiquity appears to hang after creating a partiton of /dev/sdc

[Brendan Perrine]

Public bug reported:

To reproduce on a system with 3 disks in uefi bios of h97m pro4 sleect
to install lubuntu 329 amd64 for entire disc over a btrfs and xfs
partition that previously had opensuse 13.2 installed. Then select erase
entire disk and install lubuntu. It select /dev/sdc which is an old hard
drive given to me by a lug memeber. The installer will try to create an
ext4 partition and then a swap partion on this hard disc. It will then
fail and nothing appears to be happening in syslog if a do a tail -f.

Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)

I expected ubiquity to install to the entire disc similar how I had a succesful isntall with manual partitioning a few minustes earlier. 
Instead the isntaller seems to hang after creating the entire disc pariton.
