Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted

Whenever I start gnome-partition-editor, all my partitions are mounted (I have 6 total) even though three are not mounted when the system starts up. Still, for some reason gparted mounts there three others when it starts. It also mounts all the devices when you select refresh devices. This is rather annoying as windows then come up for all of the newly mounted partitions in nautilus.

I can confirm that this is an issue, and a rather annoying one at that.

The issue is not just with removable media. It does the same with all partitions on internal drives as well. I also thing gparted has something to do with it, and not hal as is suggested in similar bug reports. the problem does not occur with fdisk, or even parted. I am unable to use gparted for _any_ partitioning whatsoever. The best i can do is to see what my partition table looks like in the forms of coloured rectangles rather than a list of partitions and cylinders.

The problem is serious - it makes the Gnome Partiion Manager useless and makes it hell to fiddle with your partitions, which is kindof a day-to-day issue for people who keep reinstalling their operating systems for the fun of it.
