Description Martin Whitaker 2017-02-12 10:29:56 CET 
draklive-install calls a umount_all() subroutine to ensure all disks/partitions that will be presented to the partitioning wizard are not currently mounted. But it only checks against mount points in /etc/fstab, so will not pick up disks/partitions that have been manually mounted or auto-mounted (e.g. by Thunar). The installer will then cheerfully allow you to delete those partitions, leading to the usual problem of getting out of sync with the kernel.
