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.
