[Bug 910379] Re: Gparted does not start and continues to scan devices

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.3-8ubuntu2

---------------
parted (2.3-8ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * Add 16-dos-partitions.patch: Fix parted to correctly handle
    more than 16 partitions on dos partition tables.
  * Add dm-part-sync.patch: Backport fix to allow modifying partitions
    on dmraid disks while other partitions are in use.
  * Replace dmraid.patch: Reimplemented and forwarded upstream,
    allows dmraid raid10 disks to show up (LP: #311179)
  * Replace loop-partitions.patch: this patch used to make sure that
    we don't try to partition loop devices.  Now it backports a few
    upstream changes to allow partitioning loop devices since that is
    supported on Linux since 3.0.  It includes a change that also fixes
    support for > 16 partitions.
  * Add skip-floppy.patch: don't probe floppy drives. (LP: #910379)
