I ran into this same problem yesterday. Although the max size it allowed me to do was different (around 50GB on an XFS partition). I ended up throwing in a feisty cd and partitioning it with gparted. I had other problems trying to do the same with a gutsy tribe 5 cd.
I too used a brand spanking new seagate drive. A Sata 7200.9 I believe. Model ST3500641AS (actually ST3500641AS-RK, but that just means Retail Kit) This one here. http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=148731 -- Limited maximum partition size at installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
