Having the bug in Intrepid as well, with a USB disk.

One thing I didn't see mentioned (except may be in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/37768/comments/44)
is that the partitioned as mounted by Gnome is still using the *old*
partition table, and that even if I unmount it and mount it again with
gnome. (I didn't push my luck trying to power off and on again my USB
disk, though...)

I find it all the more peculiar that it is suspected, as I understand
it, that this spurious mounting is due to gparted asking the kernel to
reload the partition table. So I really wonder why Gnome would keep
using the old partition informations in that case (bad cache handling?).

However, this bug proved useful: I could backup some data before the
partition was actually lost :-P

NB: I checked with fdisk and cfdisk that the partition table was indeed
updated. Only Gnome seemed to use the old partition table. I didn't try
the "mount" command in a shell.
