Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

New Ubiquity's advanced partitioner has some usability regressions comparing to gparted. One of them is missing
"used space in partition" column in manual partitioner.
It's very important to have an ability to view used space in existing partitions, because this is good way to know if partition contains some information (isn't empty) or not.

Hello, thanks for reporting. This is indeed something we intend to add, there just was't time for Feisty.

It seems I have misunderstood the complexity of the change here. Adding a numerical value for the remaining space may be possible for Feisty. I had the impression that we were talking about a graphical representation like in gparted for some reason.

  * New partitioner:
    - Mark unusable free space as such (part of LP: #86202).
    - Add "Used" column (LP: #96126).
    - Pressing Enter in the create/edit dialog mount point entry box
      activates the OK button.
  * Old partitioner: Work around yet another hard-to-explain crash due to a
    partition being missing from /proc/partitions (LP: #73058).
  * KDE frontend:
    - Disable subsidiary autopartitioning options according to the primary
      selection (thanks to Thorbjørn Tux for prompting me with suggestions;
      LP: #85980).
    - Guard against on_partition_list_*_activate being called with no
      partition selected (LP: #95429).
  * Issue a debugging message any time a process exits, not just when it
    exits non-zero.
  * Disable migration-assistant if using the old partitioner: it crashes and
    is probably too much trouble to fix.
  * Avoid crashing in certain progressposition methods if no progress bar is
    running (LP: #51077).
  * Return to partitioning if you back up from partman-commit (LP: #78930).
  * Adjust ubiquity/text/partition_help, ubiquity/text/finished_label,
    debian/intro-alpha.txt, and debian/intro-beta.txt to avoid the
    grammatical error "make sure to" (LP: #86284).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.70ubuntu6, partman-auto 62ubuntu8, partman-partitioning 47ubuntu5,
    silo-installer 1.07ubuntu4.
