Public bug reported:
I was trying to install the AMD64 dialy build of today onto an external
hard drive. To reproduce have a external hard disk with first partition
NTFS used for storage and if I need to transfer something to someone
elses windows box and then have ubuntu 12.04 variant with openbox and an
ubuntu 14.04 with unity in an extended partion with the swap in the
middle and have an internal drive on laptop with lubuntu and manjaro on
it. Then I tried to get install with manual partition to delete an old
install of trusty that I was using when it was in development installed.
I then deleted tihs partition and tried to create a new / and /home
partition but got error message when continuing with the installation
that the partition does not line up and can lead to very poor
performance. I could not get tihs message to go away hit revert and the
partitioning and then it seems to keep going and going for a long time.
With my complex partition structure I tried to install then hit revert after
got error messages about partition alighnment recreate the partition to
automatically fix it and then could not get them to go away and hit revert.
I switched to see if any cpu resources were being used and top showed that
resize2fs was in a dormant state showing a D in top when I switched to a tty. I
then tried to launch apport as this is a bug as it is not an active process.
