Bug#224659: Summary
To summarize:
Before formating the hard drive, I got:
WARNING: This will destroy all data on the partitions you have
assigned
file systems to.
...
Ready to create file systems and mount partitions
I told partconf to format one partition (/dev/hda1) while leaving the
rest alone (/dev/hda5 was to be mounted as /home; this was a hard
drive which had some Linux stuff on it already). So obviously it is
only going to format _one_ partition, while mounting more than one.
It would be nice if this warning would show me exactly which
partitions it is going to format.
e.g.
Formating and mounting:
/dev/hda1 (ext3)
Just mounting:
/dev/hda5
(It did the right thing, though, and only formated the first
partition.)
