AJ, I need those logs in order to investigate this: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman. You can extract them by going back to the installer main menu and selecting "Save debug logs", or, if you've completed an installation, you'll find them in /var/log/installer/. I haven't been able to reproduce this in my (necessarily limited and out-of-context) tests.
Note that you MUST NOT run parted to create a disk label manually while the installer's partitioner is running. It keeps its own state of what's on the disk, and you WILL confuse it if you run parted manually at the same time. It's not clear to me whether either you or _max_ did that. Ubuntu offers GPT as a disk label creation choice in expert mode. Aside from that, it uses GPT when the disk size exceeds 2TB. This shouldn't affect what it does with existing disk labels, where it should use the current label type rather than creating a new one. -- ubuntu 8.04 wont use gpt for 2tb+ devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218918 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
