Reinstall Fedora scenario (with automatic partitioning) says there isn't enough space available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 41 Workstation on ~40GB disk, with separate home partition / subvolume 2. Proceed through steps at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_webui_partitioning_guided_preserve_home 3. Actual Results: The installer refuses to continue citing insufficient disk space. Expected Results: The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s). The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected. The partitions and subvolumes which were assigned some mountpoints in the installer should be mounted. Any partitions or subvolumes which weren't assigned any mountpoints shouldn't be mounted. Your personal files on your /home partition must be intact. Also, the error message is awkward: "No big enough free space on disks for automatic partitioning"
