Description:
While ubuntu installation "late_command" directive is used for a lot of stuff i.e. disk partitioning, grub installation, etc.
But actually all this stuff just single shell string. Pretty big string...

In our case we have ceph-osd nodes with 23 disks (1 OS, 4 journals, 18 osds). While Ubuntu installation "late_command" directive fails and node starts loop reboots. (nopxe flag was not set).After some investigation I've found that late_command immediately fails with 'Argu ment list too long' error. After reducing number of disks or removing some parts of the late_command it starts working. My assumption that string too long and not fits some kernel limits (i.e. MAX_ARG_PAGES http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6060). How "late_command" executed http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/preseed/precise/view/head:/preseed_command#L16

Environment:
Fuel 5.0, Ubuntu, HA, Neutron+VLAN, Ceph on dedicated nodes

Steps to reproduce:
- Create environment(HA or not) with dedicated ceph nodes
- Assign large number of disks for ceph-osds (at least 20)
- Deploy

Expected result:
- Ubuntu installed successfully

Actual result:
- Ubuntu installation stuck on 100% in Fuel (loop reinstallation)

Possible solution:
- Rebuild debian-installer
