[Bug 1539400] Re: resize hfs+ fails (current xenial mini.iso)

[gregrwm]

downloaded xenial-alternate-powerpc.iso on 2016-02-16 at 9:34 CST,
burned to dvd, booted from dvd, requested hfs+ resize from 30gb to 21gb,
resize spent ~2 hours, then got stuck "Starting up the
partitioner...52%", in other words just the same as OP

Title:
  resize hfs+ fails (current xenial mini.iso)

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  i downloaded current xenial mini.iso midday today (jan28) onto a
  powerbook g4, booted via yaboot, selected manual partitioning,
  requested shrinking the main hfs+ partition from 30gb to 19gb, it took
  about 9 hours, then got stuck starting up the partitioner with the
  progress bar at 50%, stayed thus about 2 hours, whereupon i rebooted,
  selected manual partitioning, and saw the main hfs+ partition
  apparently unchanged, still 30gb in size.  then booted macos, noticed
  that startup took far longer than usual, i presume due to running
  filesystem check.  macos concurs main volume size unchanged (27.94gb
  according to macos).  subsequent macos startups now quicker than the
  prior norm, i presume the end result was no resize but a consolation
  prize of a defrag.
