Bug ID: 434663
Summary: Unable to create a full external disk ext4 partition
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 20.12.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: bk_b...@use.startmail.com
Target Milestone: ---

step 4
SUMMARY
Tried to format the hard drive to ext4, 1 full partition. Every time, the
partition is smaller than the full disk size. Every other program sees the
partition as the correct size (I also ran out of space when copying). Gnome
disks shows what I think is the correct partition size is.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Partition Manager
2. Select disk
3. Delete existing partition (I only had 1, it is now all unallocated/unknown)
4. Right click > New. Filesystem: ext4 (attached, don't think I changed
anything else)
5. [Apply] on KDE Partition Manager, top left
OBSERVED RESULT
The 3TB hard drive has 1 partition of 802GB. KDE Partition Manager seems to
think that it has applied one partition for the whole disk. There doesn't seem
to be a problem with the functioning of the created small partition.
EXPECTED RESULT
1 partition of 2,861,568.00 MiB size, ext4

macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.10.0-4-amd64
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

issue.
