Installation: Wrong recognition of 4Kn HDD partition size.

[AKmatiAK]

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release):

Pop OS 22.04

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME):

Installer

Issue/Bug Description:

Pop OS installer incorrectly calculates partition sizes on 2TB 4Kn sector size disk, looks like it assumes it's composed of 512b sectors, and says EFI partition is too small (real size: 520mb, displayed size: about 64mb if I remember correctly - 8 times smaller).

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Possible probably only on 4Kn disks

Expected behavior:

Proper calculation of disk size and ability to install

also side question: can I encrypt installation when using advanced installation without configuring lvm? In installer, when I try to mount my encrypted partition it says no LVM detected, and I read that when using advanced install there's no encryption prompt.

The first issue seems like a duplicate of pop-os/distinst#177.

To answer your second question, the installer will only set up encryption for you if you use the default partition layout. pop-os/distinst#286 may make it easier to have custom encrypted setups if it's merged.

Ok so I'm closing this issue because duplicate.
