[Bug 1447600] Re: 15.04 installer hangs in partitioner during something else

[Bill Miller]

I just tried reproducing it in a virtual machine and the problem didn't 
happen. I don't have a free physical machine to try it on (it was a 
physical machine where it happened to me in the first place).

Title:
  15.04 installer hangs in partitioner during something else

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In both Ubuntu and Lubuntu 15.04, when performing a "Something Else"
  install, the installer hangs when trying to format /.

  I was trying a Something Else install on 32 bit.  I asked to format
  sda1 as ext4 and mount at /.  I asked to not format sda3 and mount at
  /home.  I asked to use sda5 as swap.  Installer just stopped with no
  hard drive or CD activity.  No formatting was performed.
