I am also experiencing this issue. Using the Jaunty Alpha 2 i386 live
cd. I am trying to create a new partiton table with the following
partitions:
20GB / (primary)
10GB /home (logical)
6GB swap (logical)
and then allocate the rest to /data (logical)
Upon creating the 6GB swap partition, Ubiquity changes the filesystem to
/var, /home, /usr. I have tried rebooting multiple times and on each
occasion the swap partition creates something different.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Ubuntu 9.04 live cd, choosing the full live environment.
- When installing, choose manual partitioning.
- Click "New partition table", and accept the warning.
- Create 20gb /, 10gb /home
- Create a swap partition of 6000mb.
I am extending the bug description to include the other filesystems,
/var and /usr
** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- [jaunty] ubiquity turns swap partition into /home
+ [jaunty] ubiquity turns swap partition into /home, /var or /usr
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
If one selects manual partitioning in the installation procedure of
Ubuntu from the Live CD, Ubiquity transforms the selected swap partition
- into a /home partition.
+ into a /home partition (or /var, /usr if a /home partition already
+ exists).
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Ubuntu 9.04's iso in a Virtualbox with a virtual harddisk.
- - When installing, choose manual partioning.
+ - When installing, choose manual partitioning.
- Click "New partition table", and accept the warning.
- Create a new ext3 partition in the free space taking up about 90% of the
space, mount point /
- In the free space that's left, create a swap partition. It automatically
gets transformed to /home
Running Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 2 in Virtualbox OSE 2.0.4 , i386.
