[Bug 695283] Re: GParted resets label after partition resizing

[Curtis Gedak]

Phillip, GParted still uses the mlabel command from the mtools package
to set the label.

Having said that, in GParted 0.11.0 we switched to only using blkid
results when a file system specific tool cannot be found.  Hence this
bug is most likely resolved with GParted 0.11.0.

Stjepan, GParted 0.11.0 is available on GParted Live 0.11.0-7.  Would
you be able to re-test to confirm that the problem is resolved?

Title:
  GParted resets label after partition resizing

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gparted

  I have GParted v0.5.1 (and GNU parted v2.2 under the hood) on Ubuntu
  10.04. I also have USB disk (FUJITSU MHT2080AT, 80GiB) with three
  FAT32 (LBA) partitions. Firstly I unmounted first two partitions on
  USB disk then I started a shrink (resize) of second partition and an
  extension (resize) of first partition. The operation of these two
  tasks lasted very long time (maybe 1 or 2 hours). I even thought that
  something was wrong with partitioning process because only 20GiB have
  to be moved and there's no adequate progress indicator in GParted but
  that's another story. The problem is that after resizing finished,
  GParted reseted label of second partition to blank and set the label
  of first partition to "txref^M^J116" (or "txref??116" or something
  like this).
