Sector size can vary from the traditional 512 bytes per sector. Hence sectors per MiB can be different on different hard disks. I believe the same can be said for LBA size "sectors". There are already a few other upstream bug reports that involve allowing different units: 612928 - File size units not consistent with GNOME desktop https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612928 622150 - Support for data entry and display of logical blocks (sectors) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622150 With this in mind, perhaps this bug report should deal only with adding the size in MiB to the "Partition --> Information" dialog? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #612928 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612928 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #622150 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622150 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985882 Title: units shown are not equal to the units asked for creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/985882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
