umount partition issue

Did you save the report that GParted generates at the end when it failed? It would be very useful if you could attach that to this bug...

hey
I believe this is more of a question than a bug, anyways you can checkout the manual where it says that partitions that cant be unmounted is because it was in use, the real way to use is from the live -cd anyways. See if this helps any.

To Jan:
The log file shows gparted failed to create a new file system since the partition is mounted.

To kurt:
Thanks for your advice.

Now I demonstrate the scenario again: (assume to format partition A)
Step 1. start gparted
Step 2. mount the partition A (I just want to check the files on partition A again.)
Step 3. right click partition A in gparted and choose another partition type from the "Format to" menu.
Step 4. click "Apply"

The question might be gparted doesn't refresh the disk status and change the menu when partition A is mounted. And when i refresh the disk status using "Ctrl+R" after step 2, the "Format to" menu is disabled on partition A and the "Umount" menu is enabled . Then i can umount and format partition A successfully.

So I suggest that gparted monitors all partitions' status itself rather than let users to do it manually. I think it will be a good improvement on user operation.

@Space: thank you. Can you tell us what version of Ubuntu & gparted you are running? On a terminal you can:

lsb_release -a && apt-cache policy gparted

For now, setting WishList.

I am sorry that i've just formatted it. But i know it's Ubuntu 10.04 and i always update to the latest version.
