** Description changed:
- To reproduce install a linux distro with on an xfs with either a /home
- or / mountpoint then download the latest ubuntu-mate iso or antoher
- flavor and select something else in the partitioning. The installs I
- have on an ext4 partition are shown but the installs on an xfs partition
- shows unkown free. from selecting install at the menu if I press control
- alt t in ubuntu mate it brings up a terminal and I can see the used
- space on the xfs partitions by runing sudo gparted.
+ To reproduce before the current install onto this hardware have an xfs
+ partition already on the disk with another parittion or some free space
+ as xfs partitions cannot be shrunk. Going through the installer when
+ asked to choose entire disk install alongside physical volume for
+ encryption or something else choose something else. The free space on
+ the disk is not shown from selecting install at the menu if I press
+ control alt t in ubuntu mate it brings up a terminal and I can see the
+ used space on the xfs partitions by runing sudo gparted.

Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10
I expected the free space column to calculate xfs partition used space
seeing as it is an old and mature filesystem. Instead I get unkwon as
the size but the iso can see the used space in gparted. I can still
install but seeing free space would be nice.
