[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations

[Erick Brunzell]

Just following up while testing the Oneiric Alpha2 iso-testing image. I
began with:

Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      1049kB  66.5GB  66.5GB  primary   ext4
 2      66.5GB  80.0GB  13.5GB  extended
 6      66.5GB  75.8GB  9234MB  logical   ext4
 7      75.8GB  77.9GB  2132MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)
 5      77.9GB  80.0GB  2136MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

Then the installer said it was going to resize sdb1 and create sdb2,
what it actually did was resize sdb1 and create sdb8 (and sdb9):

Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      1049kB  33.8GB  33.8GB  primary   ext4
 2      33.8GB  80.0GB  46.2GB  extended
 8      33.8GB  64.4GB  30.6GB  logical   ext4
 9      64.4GB  66.5GB  2136MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)
 6      66.5GB  75.8GB  9234MB  logical   ext4
 7      75.8GB  77.9GB  2132MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)
 5      77.9GB  80.0GB  2136MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

Hardly a big deal for the previously stated reasons but wanted to follow
up all the same.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  While iso-testing the Maverick final I noticed that after choosing the
  auto-resize option the gui that allows you to "resize" using the
  "slider" displays incorrect device info.

  First of all here's what I started with:

  lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
  [sudo] password for lance: 
  Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
  Partition Table: msdos

  Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
   1      1049kB  11.5GB  11.5GB  primary   ext4            boot
   2      11.5GB  23.0GB  11.5GB  primary   ext4
   3      23.0GB  56.1GB  33.1GB  primary   ext4
   4      56.1GB  80.0GB  24.0GB  extended
   5      56.1GB  77.7GB  21.7GB  logical   ext4
   6      77.7GB  80.0GB  2297MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

  That is three 10.10's, the one on sdb1 has a separate /home on sdb5,
  the other two on sdb2 and sdb3 have no separate /home. They all share
  the same swap.

  During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to
  16.8GB and create a ne16.3GB sdb4. Of course that would not be
  possible since I have three primary partitions and an extended,
  regardless this is what it really did:

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
  Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
  Partition Table: msdos

  Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
   1      1049kB  11.5GB  11.5GB  primary   ext4            boot
   2      11.5GB  23.0GB  11.5GB  primary   ext4
   3      23.0GB  39.8GB  16.8GB  primary   ext4
   4      39.8GB  80.0GB  40.3GB  extended
   7      39.8GB  55.3GB  15.6GB  logical   ext4
   8      55.3GB  56.1GB  730MB   logical   linux-swap(v1)
   5      56.1GB  77.7GB  21.7GB  logical   ext4
   6      77.7GB  80.0GB  2297MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

  As you can see it actually resized everything quite well. Darn
  impressive I must say!

  So it's simply a matter of the gui showing improper info and I'd
  consider that very low priority.

  At any rate I wanted apport to collect info for the devs, but I'll add
  more comments later after I get into a more comfortable modified
  Ubuntu that suits my vision ;^)

  Overall I'm very impressed with the new ubiquity.
