I come to the partitioner. It says there is 261 GB available. (This is empty, unpartitioned and unformatted space, left over after cloning drive from a smaller one.) On-screen instructions say [!!] Partition disks The maximum size for this partition is 261.6 GB Hint: "max" can be used as a shortcut to specify the maximum size, or enter a percentage (e.g. "20%") to use that percentage of the maximum size. I try to enter 30 GB<Continue> and get "invalid size<go back>" so I go back, then I try to enter 15% and get the same answer. What now? (Max is not an option.)
/snip/ For the next person who comes up against this: Here's the trick: Where it offers 261 GB at the lefthand sideof the blue runner, you have to _erase_ the 261 GB, and then, _in its place_ enter the size or the percentage. Then everything works. Minor quirk in the screen instructions, as it looks to the casual observer as if you are invited to enter your own value after the number displayed.
