Title: ubuntu 14.04.4 installation with "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" fails for ext3 file system. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Problem Description =================================== ubuntu 14.04.4 installation on Firestone baremetal with "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" fails when ext3 is chosen as / file system. Below error message is displayed. ????????????????????????? [!!] Partition disks ????????????????????????? ? ? ? Failed to create a file system ? ?

Select ext3 as root file system and continue. == Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish...@in.ibm.com> - == I see the following errors in the syslog, parted is able to create the partition but mke2fs is unable to create the ext3 file system.
