I'm also suffering from this bug in Feisty; gparted is trying to delete /dev/sda1, re-create it, and then format it to ext3. /dev/sda is a SATA IDE drive, not removable or hotplugable in any way. mke2fs says "/dev/sda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!". Funny that, given gparted happily deleted and re-created the partition successfully. :-)
I'll try the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media workaround above, but an `apt-get update' temporary fix would be good to stop this foxing others. -- gnome-volume-manager mounting Partition, while working with GParted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
