Bug Description
Binary package hint: gparted
It would be nice if Gparted could show encrypted LUKS partitions as LUKS instead of "unknown". Even if it cannot currently move or resize or otherwise manipulate them, it would be nice to be able to see what you have where. (Yes, my partition table is probably too complex, but that's beside the point.)

Thanks for this bug report!
I think that Gparted should not show "LUKS" as filesystem for a partition because LUKS isn't a filesystem, it can encrypt a filesystem. I just tried to boot from latest Linux Ubuntu Gutsy live CD to see what Gparted would say about my LUKS ext3 filesystem and it showed it as "ext3 partition". I also tried on another computer which have a ext2 LUKS partition and Gparted showed a ext2 partition. I think that it's exactly the good behavior.
I tested this with gparted 0.3.3-2ubuntu6.1, can you tell what version of gparted you are using? You can know this by typing this on a terminal :
apt-cache policy gparted
