[Bug 1218702] Re: ubiquity resizes partition even when not asked to.
I encountered this bug installing 18.04. I was able to work around the bug by: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXN (... where /dev/sdXN is the appropriate device on my system.) I used two partitions: one for / (root), and the other for /boot It was the /boot partition that Ubiquity would resize. Ubiquity would shrink it from 500 MiB to slightly less, perhaps around 499.7 MiB. It may be that Ubiquity is shrinking from 500MiB to 524MB. Ubiquity may display and analyze partitions in MB (base 10), not MiB (base 2). It is interesting that: 1) the shrink only seems to happen if the partition is formatted prior to Ubiquity running. In other words: 2) I believe the (unwanted) shrink dose not happen if the partition is filled with zeros. (Actually, it is possible that only the beginning of the partition needs to be zeroed.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218702 Title: ubiquity resizes partition even when not asked to.

This is specially annoying when you're installing from an ISO file that is located in another partition of the same hard disk (using the loopback facility of GRUB). The installer needs to umount that partition, but it can't because it's in use, obviously.

i have a problem related to this bug too.. most likely after the ubuntu partition i have an extended partition which contains two logical partitions.. each logical partition has an 2048 free space in front of it ubuntu not only that resizes the partition in which it must install... but its moving the begining of the extended partition by 2046 to the right... (maybe he doesnt read the extended partition right, ...).. i dont think this is a good ideea and i have to manually repair that after ubuntu instalation... baybe i m not clear enought, i could upload some pictures if its needed... something like: 2048 | sda1 | sda2 - swap | sda3 - ext4 | sda4 - extended | extended looks like: 2048 | sda1 | sda2 - swap | sda3 - ext4 | 2048free| sda5-logical | 2048free| sda6-logical | so it pushes sda3 to the right over extended sda 4 --- and sda 4 2046 to the right... ty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218702 Title: ubiquity resizes partition even when not asked to.

** Description changed: ** Description changed: Choose Something else at install options, select a partition change the FS to ext4, select format, set partition to be /. Do not change the size size gets changed anyway, ( I lost 8M) I think what is happening is that ubuiquity reads the partition size and displays it in Mb. It is rounded or truncated to make it fit the display. the user doesn't change it, but the size never was the same as the original partition and so the partition gets resized. What should happen is that if the given size is the same as before and after no resize should happen. That is ubiquity should compare what the user enters with a recalc for display rather than comparing with the actual size to determine if the size is actually changed.

[Bug 1218702] Re: ubiquity resizes partition even when not asked to.
comment copied from dup bug 1164783 The only proper way to decide if a resize is needed is to compare the original value that was placed into the Change dialog, to the value that was returned from the dialog. This comparision must be preformed on the numeric value so as to avoid getting confused by leading zeros and space characters etc. Only if the values are different should the resize action be invoked. Furthermore it may make sense to limit it to some minmum threshold, does it really make sense to resize a partition by less than N megs? Anything less than 100 megs is probably a mistake. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218702 Title: ubiquity resizes partition even when not asked to.
