partman-base (187ubuntu2.1) xenial; urgency=medium
* On s390[x], Prevent using extended partitions on DASD drives that can
only hold 3 partitions. Parted doesn't have special knowledge about
that and claims that msdos partition table on DASD drives can hold
usual maximum number of partitions types. LP: #1595495.

Title:
DASD drives can only hold 3 partitions
Status in partman-base package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in partman-base source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* DASD drives have two types ECKD and FBA.
* ECKD have been made to use dasd partition table by default, however can be
used with msdos partition table
* FBA devices use msdos partition table by default
* Both types of drives can only hold 3 partitions
* However parted/partman default to using logical partitions with default
installation recipe, thus exploading instalations.
[Test Case]
* Start the installer, activate ECKD and/or FBA devices
* In case of ECKD choose to use msdos partition table (label)
* The installer should only create primary partitions, and not offer to
create logical partitions in any way
