the HDD descriptor states 2048 bytes,
but Linux is claiming 512 bytes.
which is right, and does it make a difference to Gparted?
I want to resize the HDD to give a 2nd partition to dedicate to Timeshift and luckybackup on my spare laptop.
Can't use the USB drives because Timeshift does not differentiate between the laptops... ran into that already.
I have to dedicate a USB HDD to a specific Linux PC for backups.

Re: Block size error for Gparted
It's your Live Session drive that is triggering the warning. It's an ISO9660 file-system (2048-byte logical sectors) on hardware that uses 512-byte physical sectors. Just ignore the warning... you can't modify the Live Session Drive in gparted anyway.

Re: Block size error for Gparted
thank you, problem solved.
FWIW, I had to ignore it, nothing that I found to do about it.
Gparted very faithfully divided the HDD into 2 separate partitions, and Timeshift thanked me for that.
