The issue is not just the 4 primary partitions in use with MBR. We are seeing the the forums many users over writing UEFI Windows with gpt partitioning. Again not sure if just user error or why it is occurring but it is a lot more than one or two accidentally picking wrong choice.
Several have chosen LVM as it says 'easier' partitioning and it seems to overwrite entire drive without any warnings at all. Same with encrypted LVM. Several have installed with dual boot Windows, had major issues with Ubuntu, so they elected to reinstall. Menu said overwrite existing Ubuntu install, but erased entire drive, including Windows & recovery partitions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256874 Title: warning colour needed when the entire disk will be used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1256874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
