The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that this is truly a
duplicate of bug 655950.
That said I'm also aware of what candtalan said in post #18 but I'd
argue that the "Use largest continuous free space" was a much better
option, and certainly resulted in much less destruction of existing
data. RE bug 652852.
Anyway I'm now marking this as a duplicate of bug 655950 because in my
testing if the options to "use entire partition" and "use entire disc"
simply did not exist after selecting "Install alongside" we'd see a
reduction in the number of users reporting data/OS loss!
If anyone disagrees that's fine, but I expect a detailed explanation and
some actual logs would be nice.
I have repeatedly tested the new ubiquity and if you totally ignore the
two "Use entire" buttons while using the "install alongside" option I've
not been able to reproduce the data/OS loss, and the proof is in the
pudding.
