Comment 15 for bug 682429

Well that last bunch of info is from an install that seems to have worked properly.

I began with:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
 1 1049kB 10.6GB 10.6GB primary ext4
 3 10.6GB 19.1GB 8465MB primary ext4
 4 19.1GB 76.7GB 57.7GB primary ext4
 2 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB extended
 5 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB logical linux-swap(v1)

Shared swap, sdb1 is a stand alone /, sdb3 and sdb4 are / and /home respectively.

Then, after going > Alongside > Use entire partition > Split largest I ended up with:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
 1 1049kB 10.6GB 10.6GB primary ext4
 3 10.6GB 19.1GB 8465MB primary ext4
 4 19.1GB 36.7GB 17.6GB primary ext4
 2 36.7GB 80.0GB 43.3GB extended
 6 36.7GB 75.0GB 38.3GB logical ext4
 7 75.0GB 76.7GB 1685MB logical linux-swap(v1)
 5 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB logical linux-swap(v1)

Anyway, I'm tired! And I still think we're offering confusing options after choosing "alongside" ;^)

Also pondering how to most time efficiently iso-test??????????
