Package: gparted
Version: 0.0.9-1
Severity: normal

I have just connected new 80GB ata disk and I had some feeling that i need
good fronted for partitions :-P
I created default disklabel "msdos", and I was trying to create one big
ext3 primary partition.
After clicking apply some message box appeard on my screen telling me that
gpart cannot access /dev/hdb1 and that filesystem could not be created.

I switched window to my console-emulator without closing gpart and error message
box. This is console output:

Could not stat /dev/hdb1 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

and I noticed one more thing after switch back to gparted all it's windows
(including message box) were "frozen". There were empty windows winthout text.
Problably after display error message gtk_main_loop has stoped and gui was not
refreshing :-/
I had to click on invisble "OK" button in message box, to go back to
application.

Anyway partion has been created, but there is no filesystem on it. I can do
this by manualy with mkfs.ext3 

So there is no problem in creating this using command line tools.
