xfs_db: fatal error in gparted

[Hew]

Binary package hint: xfsprogs

I have a number of xfs partitions on my drives, and they all have this same warning when mounted which can be viewed in the information dialog:

xfs_db: /dev/sda1 contains a mounted filesystem
fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library

I haven't experienced any negative effects, but a reported fatal error isn't something that should be ignored. I do not get this error with other filesystems.

same problem here on hardy heron with all updates.
