Title:
  (g)parted corrupts a running ZFS pool

Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I did the following:
  I initialized a zfs pool using 4 raw usb disks without partition. I started copying stuff on it. Everything seemed fine. Out of curiosity I fired up gparted to see what it sees on those disks which are members of the zfs pool. The members of the zfs pool do not have partitions, I gave whole disks to zpool. It crashed itself all over the place. One disk faulted and therefore the whole pool, because this one does not have redundancy. But after some reboots the whole pool recovered, I scrubbed many times already, no problems, the whole contents are there. 

  I have the feelings that something goes wrong if parted checks on zfs
  pool members.. I am a computer scientists and I like trying out open-
  source stuff. Does parted have tests like this? This is an important
  info! DON'T start parted before exporting and unplugging zpool disks
  if they contain important stuff!
