[Bug 935685] [NEW] GParted 0.11.0 regression - corrupting swap partitions

[Curtis Gedak]

Public bug reported:

In some situations when shrinking, moving, and copying linux-swap, the
linux-swap partition is no longer recognized as linux-swap.

For example, try moving (no size change) a linux-swap logical partition
to the right and applying the change.  The result, after GParted rescans
the devices, is that the partition is no longer recognized as linux-
swap.

This problem was originally reported upstream in the following bug report:
Bug 670017 - Corrupting swap partition
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670017

The upstream bug report contains a patch to address this regression in
behaviour.
