Such partition stays to be shown as available even when it is completely used.

Marking it as low priority as extended partition is not a common use case for gluster.

Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

To align with BZ 1270792, I would propose to disallow admin to create brick on
extended partition.

this is an automated message. oVirt 3.6.0 RC3 has been released and GA is targeted to next week, Nov 4th 2015.
Please review this bug and if not a blocker, please postpone to a later release.
All bugs not postponed on GA release will be automatically re-targeted to

oVirt 3.6.0 has been released on November 4th, re-targeting to 4.0 since this bug has been marked with severity < high

This bug is flagged for 3.6, yet the milestone is for 4.0 version, therefore the milestone has been reset.
Please set the correct milestone or add the flag.

Brick creation should be blocked on any partitions not just extended partition. Changing the bug description accordingly.
