But I still need to know how much of each partition is used/unused.
Usually, all of a partition is used. If the partition contains a
filesystem, swap area, RAID member or LVM physical volume, these data
structures use all the partition space.
Not necessarily - eg if you've extended the partition and not the
filesystem, it doesn't.
Of course there are exceptions. This is why I wrote "usually".
But this space is not accounted as available/free in the partition
table, nor is it accounted as used/unused in the filesystem. Gparted
would not display it. Unless it is a transient state, it is just wasted
space.
It's probably possible to specify the fs size at creation
time, too
Yes, some filesystem creation tools allow to specify the size.
