Public bug reported:
When installing Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release Candidate (as well as
beta/alphas) from Live CD/USB, an incorrect preview of the partition
setup is shown on the "Prepare disk space" step (Step 4). This error
only occurs if the user selects "Guided - use the largest continuous
free space" option. When that option is selected the image preview of
the hard drive partitions show Ubuntu taking up the entire disk (see
Free_incorrect.png).
The error does not affect actual partitioning of the system. The free
continuous space option still installs only in free space and does NOT
write over the entire disk. HOWEVER, users are lead to believe that this
option will write over the entire disk.
To recap:
-Correct previews occur when the "Guided - resize" (see Resize_correct.png) and
"Guided - use entire disk" (see Entire_correct.png) options are selected.
-An incorrect preview occurs when the "Guided - use the largest continuous free
space" option is selected, but actual partitioner does not write over entire
disk.
