[Bug 1060484] Re: When using gparted com.canonical.Unity.Devices blacklist is set back to Default of []

[Phillip Susi]

So I figured out why this is happening.  It seems that gparted syncs the
partition table on startup, just to make sure that it can.  To do this,
libparted removes all existing partitions, and then re-adds them.  It
seems that unity decides to un-blacklist a drive if you unplug it and
plug it back in.
