Ugh, this is fiddly to fix. When I tried just allowing the management of flags on any partition, new partitions seemed to spuriously show up with the boot flag set on MSDOS disklabels; I think this is probably gparted hasn't quite initialised the libparted partition structure yet and the 0x80 (active/bootable) bit happens to be set in the relevant byte somewhere on the disk. Fixing this hurts my brain.
Tollef, I know this is a "later" bug, but would you object terribly if I just left this to the implementation of ubiquity-advanced-partitioner, leaving it milestoned as "later" just in case that specification has to be deferred again? -- manual partitioning still can't create HFS bootstrap partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/68243 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
