Hi,
I am doing a clean install of Fedora 33 and I can't understand why all my
space is not being used properly.
I have a 1 TB SATA HDD.
I have selected Custom Partitioning with Thin LVM Provisioning.
These are my configurations:
1 MiB for /boot/efi (EFI System Partition)
1024 MiB for /boot
829 GiB for /
My question is with the last root partition.
I have not specified any size for the root partition in the anaconda
installer, hence it will use all the remaining space, so it should be at
least 920 GiB for the root partition right ?
Why am I getting only 829 GiB ?
Where is the ~100 GiB going ?
I can't even change it from the desired capacity field.
Why is this happening?

Regards,
Sreyan Chakravarty

1TB (10**12) != 1 TiB (2**40)

Which is why he was saying it should be at least 920 GiB, not 999.
1TB ~= 954GiB

Exactly.
Where is all the extra space going ?
If /dev/sda1 is 512 MiB , /dev/sda2 is 1 GiB and the whole disk is 930 GiB
then the remaining root partition should actually be at least 920 GiB right
?
Instead it's only 829 GiB, where is the ~100 GiB getting lost ?

My bad for not reading closely. Patrick gave a better response, look
at the block layout for the disk.
In the installer, there is a custom option that can show a
tabulated or visual layout of the disk the way that anaconda is seeing
it.

My doubt was not for the size of the whole disk.
My doubt was that why is the maximum size of the root partition only 829
GiB when the other 2 partitions are 1024 MiB and 512 Mib, with the size of
the entire disk being 930 GiB.
It seems I am losing around 100 GiB.
I am asking why am I losing so much space ?

Perhaps if you give the output of 'lsblk -fas' the situation might be
clearer.

Why 33 and not 34?

Try doing an install, maybe just a minimal install to be quick. Then
run "fdisk -l" to see what partitions were actually created.
