Public bug reported:
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 21.04 beta.
I already have installed Ubuntu 20.04.
I'm installing on a disk that is booted in BIOS mode normally, reusing the
/home partition (i.e. side-by-side with the existing Ubuntu 20.04).
The disk is BIOS mode. I tried booting from the install USB in both UEFI and
Legacy mode, the install fails in the same way at the very end. The message
with "no space left on device" is misleading, there is space. Probably the
installer is trying to write to the USB itself, which is probably read-only
thus the error. Very annoying: GRUB also did update the MBR, thus I can't even
boot the previous partition. Not only did the install fail, it also broke my
system! Critical.
