[Maas-devel] partman does not work correctly

[boyd yang]

Parted show that the swap partition use all the left free space on the
disk, but I only want to use 64G for swap.

Number  Start   End     Size    File system     Name  Flags

 1      1049kB  537MB   536MB   fat32                 boot

 2      537MB   132GB   131GB   ext4

 3      132GB   4001GB  3869GB  linux-swap(v1)
