The size difference is actually a red herring, and nothing to do with this bug. GParted shows sizes in binary units (note the "i" in "GiB" after the number) - a GiB is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes. The installer's partitioner, partman, shows sizes in decimal units (GB) - a GB here is 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes. The reason for this choice in partman, which might seem counterintuitive at first, is that disk manufacturers have a very long-standing bad habit of quoting sizes in decimal units to make their disks sound bigger, and where possible we'd rather show sizes that match what the manufacturer advertises because that cuts down on questions of the form "why doesn't the installer see all the space on my disk?".
I'd tend to argue that gparted should do the same, but I'm not much involved in its maintenance. -- Installation fails on Crucial/Micron M225 256gb SSD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
