Bug Description

Proposing to just remove the max_disk_space_* tests from checkbox and from whitelists. This test frequently results in failure, and honestly I still have never been convinced of its value as the only thing it is measuring is a completely arbitrary item (whether or not the disk was fully partitioned).

This may be OK in our internal testing setup where we are guaranteed to be testing the same default partitioning scheme every time, however, in a client testing environment, that is not a guarantee at all.
