Bug Description

the partition setup part of espresso does not only show my two hard disks (hda and hdc), but also my CD-ROM drive (hdb). This is a little bit confusing.

gparted (0.2.5-1.1ubuntu5) edgy; urgency=low

  * Patch from upstream CVS (Bart Hakvoort) to suppress probing of floppy
    and CD devices, modified to avoid dm-*, loop*, and ram* as well (closes:
    Malone #33252, Malone #59470):
    - Parse /proc/partitions to find devices instead of using
      ped_device_probe_all().
    This patch was later withdrawn upstream on the grounds that libparted is
    going to be changed to avoid probing floppies and CDs, but this code is
    not available yet and I'm reluctant to change libparted's interface in a
    way that might turn out to be incompatible with upstream.
