Gparted and fdisk in Ubuntu should never show this as "247MB" and if they do, that is a bug. They may show as 247M or as 247MiB.
Anywhere you enter MB in Ubuntu is to be treated as decimal megabytes, not binary mibibytes". When units are abbreviated to k, M, G for input we should be consistent about using the same unit for output. But it is impossible to have a single set of units that satisfies everyone. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42065 Title: installer: confusion about partition sizes (1000 vs. 1024 issue) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/42065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
