[Bug 994510] Re: The installer crashes without obvious reason... tells me he failed to migrate settings (from exisiting home partition)

[Oz123]

OK, it seems the problem is that it tries to mount a ufs partition that I have on the harddrive as read-write, 
1. IMHO damn stupid , or put more politely, dangerous - if you just want to migrate settings.... why write ?
Is ubuntu doing some stuff with my files ???
2. Second who asked the installer to launch the migration assistant to lunch ? Assuming so many things on the end user 
is certainly not healthy. 

The installer should politly ask if I want to migrate settings from this
partitions, and certainly not mount it in write mode.

The error I see:
Ubuntu kernel: ufs was compiled with read-only support, can't be mounted as read-write
Ubuntu migration-assistant: error: Failed to mount /dev/sda13
