I have no idea why installer crash, my partition table is:
lsblk

all four hdd is in one big btrfs array with a simple swap + data
partition scheme, no fresh computer i have already ubuntu 14.04 on that
btrfs array and other linux distros, managed to skip the always stupid
format all first choice using the blessing of btrfs set-default command
so now i can verify that in ubuntu_16_04 subvolume i got something:
sudo mkdir /mnt/goliat
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/goliat/
and voila!
cd /mnt/goliat/
ls -1
@
@home
ubiquity-apt-clone
var
du . -sh
4.0K.
an almost empty subvolume, and yes the full btrfs array is here:
sudo btrfs subvolume list -t --sort=path /mnt/goliat/
ID gen top level path

look like swap partitions is removed/formated/readded succesfully
but then:

and then the final crash:
