Specifically, it doesn't fail during disk detection, but does during partition creation. We already have a partman hook to sanity-check the size of disks, we should consider some sort of timed operation (e.g. write a bunch of bytes to /dev/sda), and then display a ""This disk has failed, try again."" error or something.",enhancement,new,low,The Distant Future,--,,,,,
