Public bug reported:
Specific install scenario:
- Encrypted (LUKS2) btrfs volume (pre-formatted) set to be used as "/" in
Ubiquity
- The concerned btrfs volume had a custom default subvolume (not FS_ROOT)
- A separate encrypted, pre-formatted physical swap partition was selected.
On one occasion, Ubiquity crashed while trying to `mkswap` on this partition
To reproduce:
- On a VM (this happened on a VM), pass-through a USB 3.0 drive
- luksFormat a 40GB partition (LUKS2)
- Run mkfs.btrfs -K (I didn't want to send a bunch of TRIMs)
- Create a subvolume and set it as the default one (`btrfs subvolume
set-default` was used)
- Create another 2GB LUKS2 partition, but this time run mkswap
- Ensure that the new swap partition is not being used (swapoff
<new-mapped-part>
- Fire up Ubiquity
- Select these two partitions as "/" and swap space respectively. Ensure
"format" is UNCHECKED
- "Install Now"
- Confirm partition map changes, as well as non-formatting of the "/" partition
- Sit back and wait for the crash (which you hopefully don't experience, but I
have a bad feeling...)
