Bug Description

Ubuntu 9.04
linux 2.6.28-11-generic
gparted 0.4.3-0ubuntu1

In Jaunty (kernel linux 2.6.28-11-generic) SD cards are given the device name /dev/mmcblk0 and its partitions /dev/mmcblk0p1, /dev/mmcblk0p2 etc...

In Intrepid they were given the device name /dev/sdb and its partitions /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2.

I thing gparted is only looking for /dev/sd* which is a problem, because I can no longer format my SD cards using this program in Jaunty.

Changed in gparted:
