Public bug reported:
partman_server crashes on Ubuntu 12.10 server for amd64 when trying to
partition an Advanced Format (4k / 4k sector) hard disk.
Disks that utilize 4k sectors with 512 emulation work fine. The
installer has no problems with those.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Begin the installation in EFI mode.
2) At the disk partitioning stage, select "Guided use Entire Disk" or "Manual"
3) Review and accept the proposed partitioning scheme and write changes to
disk.
Actual Results:
The system will attempt to create a the EFIboot partition. At this stage the
installer appears to hang. Pressing Ctrl+AltF4 reveals that parted_server has
crashed with the following message:
parted_server[13865]: segfault at 22fa000 ip 00007fa6eb74bee7 sp
00007fffec3ab500 error 4 in libparted.so.0.0.1[7fa6eb735000+64000]
Expected results:
Installation should carry on without a crash.
