[Bug 366282] Re: partitions that overflow disk not handled gracefully

[Phillip Susi]

As far as parted goes, this was fixed some time ago; it now throws an
exception notifying the user of the error, and gives them the chance to
ignore it so they can print the existing table, and delete the offending
partition.  It seems however, that parted_server ignores the error ( not
even logging it ).

Title:
  partitions that overflow disk not handled gracefully

Status in partman-base package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I get to the partitioning stage of the install process, the
  partitioner does not correctly detect my existing partition table.

  Instead I get only an option to format the entire disk or manually
  create a new partition table.

  This guy seems to have the same issue:
