One experiment:
I have an 8TB backup server installed with Atomic - am I able to do a
bare-metal install by booting a live USB and then installing CoreOS BUT
not touch the /home partition? - there should be plenty of space to
install if the first four standard partitions are zapped?
The installer consumes a block device and overwrites the contents of it as
if you were doing a `dd` of the provided disk image we give you. If you want
to save the contents of your home partition I would suggest you copy the data
off.
Of course there is a more complicated scenario where you've got your /home on a
completely separate disk. In that case it might work, but I doubt you have it set
up that way.
