Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
ubiquity ppc, 20070201.1 (herd-3 candidate), manual partitioning: I
removed all partitions but the tiny /dev/hda1 and the bootstrap
partition hda2, then created swap as hda3, a 6 MB / as hda4. Afterwards
I'm unable to create a hda5 (about 23 GB) as /home with either ext3 or
reiserfs. The dialog closes, it re-thinks about partitions, but it does
not appear, and there is no feedback.
I gradually made the partition smaller, and then it finally worked when
I set it to 21 GB. It displays 23'492'787'200 bytes of free space, and
even 23'400'000'000 didn't work yet. OTOH, if I use 23'000'000'000, it
actually allocates 20'633'190'912 bytes, wasting 3 GB.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
