This doesn't seem to be reproducible with anything but jfs. Given that the errors following the partitioning appear almost random (but here, most often than not I get a failure installing linux-firmware, rather than making it to grub-install... and running the same command again after succeeds); I think we're hitting a kernel issue or some problem with the jfs filesystem driver.
The errors appear to always be some kind of I/O error. I've been doing this on a virtual machine, so I know the disk I've created is good (and the underlying host doesn't have errors). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630017 Title: Ubuntu 16.10 installation with root as JFS file system fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-prep/+bug/1630017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
