Bug#521890: installation-reports: disk partitioning in expert could let user provide a value for blocksize/inode ratio
Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
During the hard-disk partitioning step in expert mode, when we choose to format a partition we have the possibility to pick the blocksize/inode ratio from a list.
In some cases, we would like to specify a custome value, so it would be great to have the possibility to enter one.
