Why not use a tool less primitive than fdisk? A smarter tool would be
able to expand the extended partition for you.
In this particular case, it would probably have been reasonable to make
the extended partition run up to the end of the disk, but there are lots
of conditions on whether this is reasonable and to be honest I doubt
that it is worth the effort. Just use something better than fdisk
instead.
** Package changed: base-files (Ubuntu) => partman-base (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- installer partitioner does not allocate the full remaining free space, means
it is hard to use unused space afterwards
+ partitioner minimises extended partition; primitive tools like fdisk have
trouble using unallocated space afterwards
