Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

I configured my system with software raid 1 so the partitions of my harddisks 
are "Linux raid autodetect" that correspond to /dev/md metadevices in Linux 
(Ubuntu Hardy).
When I try to launch GParted a pop-up window is showed:
"The kernel is unable to re-read the partitiontables on the following devices:
- /dev/md0
- /dev/md1
......................."

I think this is ok as /dev/md[0-9] are metadevices not true devices. The fact 
is that once you enter in gparted from the drop-down device list menu also the 
metadevices are showed.
I think:
- the message is misleading 
- in the drop-down list only the true devices should be listed (not 
metadevices).

Tested with Gparted 0.3.5.
