Having some space left over from the 2G to 4G clone, I made two ext3
partitions and labeled one as casper-rw and the other as home-rw.
I had to use gparted Live CD as partitioner in Ubuntu gave errors trying to
label a partition as casper-rw.
I deleted the casper file from the U-C installation.
Everything seems to working ok now.
