Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
While iso-testing the Maverick final I noticed that after choosing the
auto-resize option the gui that allows you to "resize" using the
"slider" displays incorrect device info.
First of all here's what I started with:
lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
[sudo] password for lance:
Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 11.5GB 11.5GB primary ext4 boot
2 11.5GB 23.0GB 11.5GB primary ext4
3 23.0GB 56.1GB 33.1GB primary ext4
4 56.1GB 80.0GB 24.0GB extended
5 56.1GB 77.7GB 21.7GB logical ext4
6 77.7GB 80.0GB 2297MB logical linux-swap(v1)
That is three 10.10's, the one on sdb1 has a separate /home on sdb5,
the other two on sdb2 and sdb3 have no separate /home. They all share
the same swap.
During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to
16.8GB and create a ne16.3GB sdb4. Of course that would not be
possible since I have three primary partitions and an extended,
regardless this is what it really did:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 11.5GB 11.5GB primary ext4 boot
2 11.5GB 23.0GB 11.5GB primary ext4
3 23.0GB 39.8GB 16.8GB primary ext4
4 39.8GB 80.0GB 40.3GB extended
7 39.8GB 55.3GB 15.6GB logical ext4
8 55.3GB 56.1GB 730MB logical linux-swap(v1)
5 56.1GB 77.7GB 21.7GB logical ext4
6 77.7GB 80.0GB 2297MB logical linux-swap(v1)
As you can see it actually resized everything quite well. Darn
impressive I must say!
So it's simply a matter of the gui showing improper info and I'd
consider that very low priority.
At any rate I wanted apport to collect info for the devs, but I'll add
more comments later after I get into a more comfortable modified
Ubuntu that suits my vision ;^)
Overall I'm very impressed with the new ubiquity.
