** Description changed: 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). + + -- + + Suggested fix: + + * Add the size in MiB to the detailed properties, since this is the + standard allign unit anyway. + + * Provide the option to use LBA units for creation, to allow full + precision. + + (Provide an option to use "same as allign unit"?)
