[Bug 490046] [NEW] pysdm wants to mount the wrong partition, missed primary device

[Jacob]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pysdm

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

$ apt-cache policy pysdm
pysdm:
  Installed: 0.4.1-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.4.1-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.1-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages

I have 3 drives on my systems:
- /dev/sda, My primary hard drive, where my Windows and Ubuntu OS's are installed, with 4 partitions
- /dev/sdb, a USB drive easily removable, also with 4 partitions
- /dev/sdc, my flash-memory drive (Corsair)

The partitions on /dev/sda are /dev/sda1-4, where /dev/sda1 is my Windows partition.
I wished to have my Windows partition always mount at boot time.
Steps:
1. I invoke pysdm and it presents me with a window displaying the three devices I listed above.
2. I select /dev/sda and it expands down to display /dev/sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4
3. I select /dev/sda1, my Windows partition.
4. It pops up a small dialog box, telling me that /dev/sdb1 has not been configured.  This is my backup partition on the the USB-attached hard drive.  If I click on OK, it mounds the backup partition.

This is ridiculous! It should have been asking about configuring
/dev/sda1, not sdb1.

I have been unable to get pysdm to list the windows partition
(/dev/sda1).  I finally succeeded (I think) using ntfs-config, though I
won't be certain until I reboot.  But the point is that pysdm is
misbehaving.
