Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
To reproduce:
1. Have an external hard drive (mine was USB) plugged in.
2. Unmount the drive if it was automatically mounted.
2. Open gparted from the menu, I found gparted at the command line didn't work
reliably.
3. Note that gparted says "Scanning all devices" forever.
4. Mount the drive. gparted instantly shows all of my hard drives.
5. Right click the drive in gparted, it goes back to "scanning all devices"
6. Here's the kicker: Unplug the hard drive while gparted is doing its
"scanning all devices."
7. gparted goes back to normal.
8. Plug the hard drive back in
8. gparted goes back to normal and lets you format the external hard drive that
you were plugging in and out.
This is on Feisty.
** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
