It seems this bug is a duplicate of bug #81185

Please update GParted ASAP. As Graphical installer (ubiquity) doesn't use GParted anymore, it's pretty safe to update GParted to new upstream version even if we now are in upstream version freeze.

According to one email, sent to debbug #389510 by Magnus Holmgren <email address hidden> gparted "it seems to build fine without modification to ./debian/*."

Updating gparted to new version (released on 2006-09-04) will fix lots of important (dataloss) bugs, look at the release notes (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=446553&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=467985&group_id=115843 , http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=115843&release_id=469155), also bugs like #54119, #37768, #86851

Btw, you should patch upstream solution of bug #37768, because it's sort of "dirty hack" (look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220#c38 for more info):

I'd like to add some extra information. [When Gparted starts it creates]
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi file, [which] causes some problems as you suspected before. Sometimes it remains there even GParted is not running anymore. Because of this file, HAL doesn't automount USB devices properly.

There are similar bug reports in both Fedora's and Pardus's bug tracking systems (I know there is a FIXME in the code, I just wanted to imply that it really needs to be fixed ;)).

I have to add another vote for this. The included version of gparted doesn't even give me the option of moving an ext3 logical partition inside an extended partition. The official livecd v 3.3.4-5 from gparted.sf.net handles this operation perfectly.
