Title:
  Ubiquity crashes when told to format root to btrfs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I selected the btrfs filesystem for formatting my root partition
  and clicked next, a message box popped up saying "Error formatting
  Partition ##" and the whole installtion process as well as the system
  froze. Eventually it required a cold reset.

  During the second run I chose ext4 for root and there were no
  problems.

  The partition I was trying to format to btrfs was sda3, a primary
  partition on a 40Gb PATA Seagate drive, for what it's worth. Size was
  ~12 Gb. A swap partition was already available from previous install
  and I was not doing any other step. The partition too had been
  previously created, so that leaves only the formatting step where the
  error could have occured.
