[Bug 985882] Re: units shown are not equal to the units asked for creation

[ceg]

Thanks for the workaround! Having to look into Move/Resize before creating new partitions is still strange, though.
I would expect the required unit numbers are available, at least in the detailed properties of partitions.

Title:
  units shown are not equal to the units asked for creation

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Try to recreate or clone the OS partition on another harddrive of a
  different size as the original.

  GParted shows only an impresize size of the existing partition such as
  "32.63GB", whereas to create the new partition the exact size in MiB
  is required.

  Hidden in the Properties, gparted does tell the number of sectors in
  the old partition, but that can't be directly used to create the new
  partition either. (V 0.7.0)

  Use case is not to copy but create two disks with same partiton sizes
  (only some of them raid partition clones).
