My guess is partman-server (partman_base) is calling minimize_extended_partition (probably command_partitions) which calls ped_disk_minimize_extended_partition and it seems entirely intentional.
If I'm reading this right, then the behaviour is stupid. -- if an extended partition contains unallocated space before the first logical partition, the start of the extended partition is moved to start of first logical partition [first EBR is MOVED and affected MBR and EBR tables updated when no such partition changes are requested] (present in both GUI and text installers) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
