Title:
  parted.sizeToSectors() rounds sizes down

Status in pyparted package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The code for sizeToSectors() in pyparted is:

  bytes_ * __exponents[unit] // sector_size

  This means that the sizes are rounded down whenever the size is not a
  multiply of the sector size. This sounds like a really bad idea as it
  can mean that the partition we end up creating can be smaller than the
  contents we want to fit. The default should be to round the size up.
