Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

2.When get in to the hub screen click "Installation destination"
3.Chose "Custom" at the below, then click "Done"
4.Click "Click here to create them automatically"
5.Delete big "/home" partation
6.Click "/" partation

File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/utils.py," line198, in_run_once_one_arg
self._func(*args,**kwargs)
OverflowError:104857599999998951424 no in range 0 to 18446744073709551615
...

...

Expected results:
No matter how many "9" I input, it will calculate the right space.

Additional info:
It works well on  CentOS-7.9.2003/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso
I input about 30 times "9" here, to make sure the "/" partation will use ALL the disk space.
