Hmm. Bart said that a parted patch was forthcoming to make it not probe CDs or floppies. However, that patch doesn't seem to be available yet, and I don't know exactly what its interface would be so I'm reluctant to try to guess at it myself.
Furthermore, the attached patch does not really seem to be correct either: it doesn't have the code in parted to skip dm-*, loop*, and ram* devices, which I expect will produce some weirdness in a live session. Changing parted's interface in a way that will potentially be incompatible with future upstream releases makes me uncomfortable, so I guess the best answer for now is to fix up the gparted patch. I'll work on this. -- IO Error's in /dev/fd0. I don't have a floppy disk. https://launchpad.net/bugs/59470 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
