Selecting 'Use Entire Partition' (UEP) trashes the whole disc. Unacceptable disaster. If the UEP choice exists it must be fixed. In the Natty daily build of date 2011, January 03, 32 bit Desktop CD, install, it is still present and still a disaster. Anyone using this option gets hit. It is very fortunate that it is rather unlikely for this option to be chosen! (Unfortunately I used it for a serious Maverick install). BTW it does not only affect ntfs partitions. I tested it also with a couple of ext4 partitions.

I gave it a pass in spite of bug #682429 because selecting "Use entire partition" after choosing to "install alongside" is a poor choice and not truly an "auto-resize". However it does need attention.
