Thanks for the link, this is not the same bug, because it's only about
computer properties.
My bug is about partitions properties

I believe this is a bug rather than a papercut. The definition of a papercut has two key points:

 - A papercut must be a usability bug that is encountered by an average user regularly during their day-to-day computing habits ie browsing the web, checking email, IMing, etc.
- It should be fixable by one developer in one day.

Since the average user will not be examining the properties of filesystem partitions, mounted or otherwise, this is not a valid papercut.
