In the last sentence, where I say:

"like the remaining partition wasn't there"

please read:

"like the remaining space wasn't there".

Title:
  Palimpsest doesn't recognize small empty space at the end of a storage
  device

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
