2006-09-01 17:20:06 Andrew Jorgensen gparted: statusexplanation Hi, Can you check and confirm if this behaviour is still there with the final release of Dapper? I can confirm this behavior. It's not hal, it's gnome-volume-manager that's mounting the partitions. This is probably caused by gparted calling an IOCTL to re-read the partition table before it tries to make the change. That part, at least, is good behavior but gparted needs to have some way to either lock the device it's working on so that g-v-m can't have it mounted or perhaps notify g-v-m that it's making changes so that g-v-m knows not to try. This is definitely a bug, I'd even call it a serious one. It will be present whenever attempting to manipulate a partition table on a removable device. A possible workaround is to kill gnome-volume-manager (in my case I had to go into gnome-session-properties to kill it).

2007-07-08 05:12:25 Chuck Leduc gparted: statusexplanation This has not been resolved, as it still exists in Feisty (I'm soaking in it) and upstream (according to comments by others). It makes gparted unusable for anything that requires unmounting drives unless you know to kill gnome-volume-manager.

2008-09-01 08:09:42 Colin Watson hal: statusexplanation Nominating for Hardy. I think the potential for interference with partitioning in progress justifies an update. (This is only for gparted/hardy; marking the hal/hardy task that Launchpad also gave me as invalid.)

2009-01-06 08:22:44 Martin Pitt gparted: statusexplanation Seems like the solution here would be to teach gparted to disable auto-mounting on startup and set the state back to what it was on close. This bug was nominated for Gutsy but does currently not qualify for a 7.10 stable release update (SRU) and the nomination is therefore declined. According the the SRU policy, the fix should already be deployed and tested in the current development version before an update to the stable releases will be considered. With 7.10 now released, that policy applies to this bug. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . The bug is not being closed as work will continue on fixing it for the next release, Hardy Heron (8.04). To help improve the state of this bug see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures . Reopening for Jaunty then.
