[Bug 42954] Cannot format pendrive partition (automounting problems)

[Robert Nasiadek]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: gparted

1. Run gparted.
2. Unmount a partition on a pendrive (with gparted).
3. Try to format it

When I try to apply changes in the partitions, the partition gets
automatically mounted (a desktop icon shows up) and gparted fails with
this error:

--- cut here ---
Error while formattting filesystem of /dev/sda1

Be aware that the failure to apply this operation could affect other operations on the list.
