Bug#248278: / default size too small
Bug reassigned from package `partman' to `partman-auto'.
> retitle 258880 Sometimes changes the disk geometry and leaves Windows unbootable
Bug#258880: Seems to corrupt the partition table and partition entries of existing Windows partitions
Changed Bug title.
> severity 242114 critical
Bug#242114: Finds no partition table on a disk with partition table recognisable by fdisk. Parted also can not read this disk and complains for unaligned partitions even when used on an empty disk. I have observed something similar on a machine whose BIOS thinks that the best access mode for this disk is "Normal" instead of "LBA". At first I supposed that this is some bug in parted but then during my tests I found that Win95 could not boot from this disk (I have not tried with newer versions of Win). When I went to BIOS and changed the access mode from "Auto" to "LBA" all problems disappeared.
Severity set to `critical'.

> severity 263046 grave
Bug#263046: confuses lvm and raid partitions
Severity set to `grave'.
> merge 263046 241785
Bug#241785: On two identical IDE disk with equal number of partitions assigning mount point of a partition on the second disk assignes a mount point on the first instead. However afterwards the partition on the second disk can be selected to be mounted and the partition on the first disk deselected.

Bug#264937: Doesn't check whether the default file system is actually supported
Bug reassigned from package `partman' to `partman-auto'.
> severity 238388 important
Bug#238388: Allows to modify partition tables of disk with used partitions and no warning is issued that the kernel will not be able to reread the partition table. I suppose that the best fix for this is: 1. warn the user that the disk is used so a reboot will be required; 2. when the partitioning finishes displays a messages that the system should be rebooted and exits to the main menu of the installer.
