The ways in which Ubuntu manages to break things always baffle me. Their new 18.04 server installer UI is reporting a 1TB RAID volume (typical LSI RAID stuff) as 8TB. kernel/fdisk report the right size. Trying to find out how they managed to mess *this* up.

Found it. They multiply a 'size' attribute in sysfs, that is always in 512-byte units, by the logical block size (4096 in this case). https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/probert/blob/master/probert/utils.py#L239 … Still unfixed, which leads me to believe ~nobody is using their new server installer, or people would be complaining.

subiquity? It doesn't work on PE R720s with the latest firmware. You know, one of the most popular server models among homelabbers. I had to use debootstrap and then finish the install LFS-style.

You can use the netinstall ISO, that doesn't use subiquity.
