I am also experiencing this issue. Using the Jaunty Alpha 2 i386 live cd. I am trying to create a new partiton table with the following partitions:
20GB / (primary) 10GB /home (logical) 6GB swap (logical) and then allocate the rest to /data (logical) Upon creating the 6GB swap partition, Ubiquity changes the filesystem to /var, /home, /usr. I have tried rebooting multiple times and on each occasion the swap partition creates something different. Steps to reproduce: - Run Ubuntu 9.04 live cd, choosing the full live environment. - When installing, choose manual partitioning. - Click "New partition table", and accept the warning. - Create 20gb /, 10gb /home - Create a swap partition of 6000mb. I am extending the bug description to include the other filesystems, /var and /usr ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - [jaunty] ubiquity turns swap partition into /home + [jaunty] ubiquity turns swap partition into /home, /var or /usr ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity If one selects manual partitioning in the installation procedure of Ubuntu from the Live CD, Ubiquity transforms the selected swap partition - into a /home partition. + into a /home partition (or /var, /usr if a /home partition already + exists). Steps to reproduce: - Run Ubuntu 9.04's iso in a Virtualbox with a virtual harddisk. - - When installing, choose manual partioning. + - When installing, choose manual partitioning. - Click "New partition table", and accept the warning. - Create a new ext3 partition in the free space taking up about 90% of the space, mount point / - In the free space that's left, create a swap partition. It automatically gets transformed to /home Running Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 2 in Virtualbox OSE 2.0.4 , i386. -- [jaunty] ubiquity turns swap partition into /home, /var or /usr https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
