Public bug reported:
I noticed this slight oddity while installing Ubuntu 12.10 to replace
Windows 7.
Some background info. I had three partitions as follows:
/dev/sda1 (NTFS, 100 MB, W7 special partition)
/dev/sda2 (NTFS, 65 GB, W7 system partition)
/dev/sda3 (NTFS, 400 GB, user files)
My simple plan was to try to directly adapt them to ext4 FS as follows:
sda1 to /boot
sda2 to /
sda3 to /home
The problem was that the "Change" button in the partition editor dialog
did not do anything when a NTFS partition was selected. No feedback was
given either as to why I couldn't perform the operation.
In this case I naturally ended up wiping the disk and creating new
partitions from scratch, which worked fine.
