Forgot to mention: conifirmed the failure to create lage enough raid partition when trying to extend a raid 1 with another 333MiB sized parttion (gui shows 349 MB). Nevertheless, it worked with a 18.62GiB (20GB) raid.
Seems like messing up with with MB and MiB (MiB being the only sane unit as this is the default alignment anyway.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984449 Title: Palimpsest doesn't allow precisely-sized partitions Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Palimpsest doesn't allow precisely-sized partitions. I need to be able to specify the size of a new partition at creation time in Bytes (not MiB, GiB, or TiB). Not that it matters, but the reason I need to do so is because I have an existing RAID5, and I wanted to make a new partition on a new drive to add to the RAID, and doing so automatically (by selecting the RAID in palimpsest and trying to add the unformatted drive) doesn't work (the partition size it creates is too small), and I cannot do it manually, because the slider input field is too coarse. I need to be able to enter the partition size manually, using my choice of units.
