This is very frustrating. I can almost understand the need to nuke /, /usr, and /boot, but /var? This is where my databases live and my mail spool, among other things. I can't see why an advanced user would ever want to blow away /var. Yes, I might create a compatibility problem for myself if an application specific file format changed in some program, but as an advanced user, I should be able to sign up for that if I want to. Please provide a convenient way to override this check in the future.
In the meantime I've edited /lib/partman/check.d/12system_partitions_formatted to work around /var. -- Unable to install without format https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
