[Bug 86851] Re: 7.04 Feisty Herd5: gparted: constantly mounting partitions

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

I can confirm this critical and very annoying bug.

It seems this problem started to be visible after gnome-mount was be
integrated into Ubuntu (also can be caused because of hal/libhal
changes, related to gnome-mount)

This problem also occurs with Edgy's gparted if you install backported
hal+libhal+gnome-mount packages from Feisty.

It seems this bug would be fixed simply to upgrading to new gparted
0.3.x upstream version (look at bug #81185 ):

In GParted-0.3 release notes (2006-09-04, see
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843
) there is a note, that "automountdisabling should work ok now" :

We finally have full move support!! Although it should be considered a
bit experimental, our tests worked out perfectly and we didn't see any
errors so far.

Bugfixes:
* automountdisabling should work ok now
* fixed some errors with scanning for used sectors on ntfs filesystems

New Features:
* it is now possible to move the start of filesystems.
* much improved progressfeedback during move and copy
* you can now move and copy ntfs filesystems and still boot windows from them
* overall improved progressfeedback (more details you don't want to know about ;) )

Translations (new/updated):
ja, es, vi, gl, nl, de, sv, lt, lv, hu, fi, fr, mk

Changes:
* mostly internal, far more exact calculations of partitiongeometry
* dependencies raised for libparted (now 1.7.1) and gtkmm (now 2.8)
* some trivial HIG stuff..
* due to cleanups the resulting binary is about 15% smaller


** Also affects: gparted (Baltix)
