This is the UX portion of the struggles I had with bug #1137579 a decade ago. I clean-install Fedora very, very, very infrequently, so I have difficulty remembering how to tell its guided ("custom") partitioning tool to set a particular partition to fill the available space, and for many users I think it would be counterintuitive to think "I'm going to type in a big fake number that vastly exceeds the capacity, just so that it clamps to the max available capacity". It's a bit of a mind twist. Short of showing a nice "Set to max" button next to those size GtkEntry fields, I would like to request these values to be acceptable in the syntax: * `` (empty string / empty field - this currently displays a warning) * `*` (wildcard) * `max` * `all` ...typing them in, and pressing Enter or clicking the Update button, would then transform them to the max value. See also: the fields would benefit from having a tooltip, bug #2184188
