[Bug 1827511] [NEW] installing to 1T sdxc (which overwrites gpt backup data)

[Ray Lance]

Public bug reported:

first tried gpt, then msdos, which demands new partitioning to install.
Tried 100m efi, 20g root and 240g home, but the 240g failed toformat.

Then tried installing just to the 200g / -- copied 1.7g to the partition
and then failed with a read-only message.
