I tried to reproduce the kernel bug and it didn't crash this time. Gparted worked fine under Natty, just as it did under Maverick. It used the 'p' in the name quite happily. Tomorrow I'll push a bzr branch and propose it be merged to fix this. I think I'll also try to get in patches to dmraid and parted to hide the 'p' when the previous char is not a digit.
