That's strange. When I run gparted, I get a similar output: ====================== libparted : 1.7.1 ====================== Unable to open /dev/hdc read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/hdc has been opened read-only. Unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label.
But gparted only scans for some seconds and then I can work normally. Can you please post the content of /etc/fstab ? Maybe it's a problem there. -- gparted hangs "Scanning all Devices" for ever https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
