[Bug 892723] [NEW] Palimpsest doesn't recognize small empty space at the end of a storage device

 

Public bug reported:

I can reproduce this problem every time.

I have an external HDD (640 GB), which has the following structure:
- ~75 GB, encrypted partition
- ~517 GB, plain partition (ext4)
- ~5 GB, remaining free space

I generally use the remaining free space with a scheme depending on the
temporary need.

The problem is that palimpsest doesn't show that free space, so I have
to use gparted if I want, say, create a partition in it.

To be more descriptive, when I see the graphical bar of the
partitioning, I see the filled rectangles for the first and second
partitions, but nothing else - exactly like the remaining partition
wasn't there.
