Because this will stop the installation, and subsequent attempts will result with the same error, shouldn't the importance/urgency of this bug be increased?
As was commented on in the duplicate ( Bug #83766 ) -- this will confuse lots of users because it is so easy to mount a partition without realizing it. FYI, problem persists in Fiesty Herd-5. -- feisty installation does not umount mounted partitions before their creation https://launchpad.net/bugs/81687 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
