[Bug 37768] Re: hal(?) mounting Partition, while working with GParted
I can confirm this behavior. It's not hal, it's gnome-volume-manager that's mounting the partitions. This is probably caused by gparted calling an IOCTL to re-read the partition table before it tries to make the change. That part, at least, is good behavior but gparted needs to have some way to either lock the device it's working on so that g-v-m can't have it mounted or perhaps notify g-v-m that it's making changes so that g-v-m knows not to try. This is definitely a bug, I'd even call it a serious one. It will be present whenever attempting to manipulate a partition table on a removable device. A possible workaround is to kill gnome-volume-manager (in my case I had to go into gnome-session-properties to kill it). ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- hal(?) mounting Partition, while working with GParted https://launchpad.net/bugs/37768 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi, Can you check and confirm if this behaviour is still there with the final release of Dapper? ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- hal(?) mounting Partition, while working with GParted https://launchpad.net/bugs/37768 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
