Package: gparted Version: 0.32.0-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I've just purchased Seagate Expansion 4TB (STEA4000400) which comes with a NTFS partition. It is essential to me to reformat it into Ext4, but the only option offered by gparted is "cleared", all others are greyed out. The FAQ (https://gparted.org/faq.php) entry "9: Why are some menu items disabled?" is not relevant to my problem. I was also unable to find with Google any description of a similar situation. I will appreciate very much your suggestions how to quickly solve or circumvent the problem.
