[Bug 65552] usb-drive is automaticly remounted during format stopping gparted

[Martin Jensen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

I'm not too sure whether this is a problem with gparted or whatever
program that does the automounting of usb-drives. Anyways .. there seems
to be a slight annoying problem:

1) I hook up an usb-drive, it starts as usual and give me access to it.

2) I unmount it to format it using gparted.

3) I start up gparted and make sure that the drive is unmounted.

4) After selecting the filesystem and starting the format the drive is
automaticly mounted again by gnome/ubuntu. This prevents gparted from
starting the format. Gparted returns an error that it is unable to run
mkdosfs because the target drive is already mounted.

This happens every time. I could try to speculate about whether gparted
signals ubuntu to remount the drive or whatever - but I really have no
clue ;)

Regards

/Martin
