Comments/Problems:
Not an error, just a hassle. Using expert setup the default drive
partitioner loses information when you finish partitioning and then go back
to it again. For example, setup the partition table listed above and then
select "Done". Back at the main menu reselect partition setup. The partition
sizes are preserved but the mount information is gone (if you select "Done"
at this point d-i will complain that there is not root partition). Also
although the file systems are show on the main screen when you select a
partition for editing it goes back to "Do not use". So each time you revisit
the partition manager you have to redo all of the file systems and mount
points. This also happens if you select "Configure LVM" from the main
partition screen and then change your mind and go back.
