[Bug 81185] Re: Upgrade GParted to version 0.33

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

It seems this bug is a duplicate of bug #74584

Please update GParted ASAP. As Graphical installer (ubiquity) doesn't
use GParted anymore, it's pretty safe to update GParted to new upstream
version even if we now are in upstream version freeze.

Updating gparted to new version (released on 2006-09-04) will fix lots
of important (dataloss) bugs, look at the release notes
(http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843
,
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=446553&group_id=115843
,
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=467985&group_id=115843
,
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=115843&release_id=469155),
also bugs like #54119, #37768, #86851

Btw, you should patch upstream solution of bug #37768, because it's sort
of "dirty hack" (look at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220#c38 for more info):

I'd like to add some extra information. [When Gparted starts it creates]
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi file, [which] causes some problems as you suspected before. Sometimes it remains there even GParted is not running anymore. Because of this file, HAL doesn't automount USB devices properly.

There are similar bug reports in both Fedora's and Pardus's bug tracking
systems (I know there is a FIXME in the code, I just wanted to imply
that it really needs to be fixed ;)).
