[Bug 880029] [NEW] Advanced partitioning may lead to lost data

[Adam Klobukowski]

Public bug reported:

During install, I choose to use advanced partitioning. I set up
partition for / with formatting and another partition for /home without
formatting (I had data there). I didn't choose to create any swap
partition. Then I clicked 'next' and was welcomed with a dialog about
swap partition, and first time I chose to go back to partitioning, and
then clicked 'next', dismissed swap warning dialog (to go forward this
time) only to see that my /home has been reconfigured with formatting
on. I couldn't go back and lost my data within few seconds :(
