Public bug reported:

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 2.30.1)
