This is a known bug with Disk Druid. This has been addressed by msw's partitioning work. |
Description of Problem: Both in text and graphic installer, the 6.4 GB Quantum harddisk (784/255/63) leaves 133 MB untouchable: hda1 305 DOS>=32 hda5 1145 Linux (/home) hda6 30/31 Linux (/boot) hda7 1200 DOS>=32 hda8 300/305 swap for hda9 (/) whatever I use (text/graphic),"use remaining space" will result in 3027 MB. With a result of "6016 MB used, 133 MB free". Even filling in any number above 3027 (3028!) manually, will result in a fail ("no space available"), though there *are* 133 MB free; shown in the "thermometer" and in the table. The overall space on the harddisk are 6149 MB; so the calculation is done correctly by the installer. Thus, why doesn't it permit to use the whole harddisk? How Reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. (see above) 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
