gparted (0.2.5-1.1ubuntu5) edgy; urgency=low * Patch from upstream CVS (Bart Hakvoort) to suppress probing of floppy and CD devices, modified to avoid dm-*, loop*, and ram* as well (closes: Malone #33252, Malone #59470): - Parse /proc/partitions to find devices instead of using ped_device_probe_all(). This patch was later withdrawn upstream on the grounds that libparted is going to be changed to avoid probing floppies and CDs, but this code is not available yet and I'm reluctant to change libparted's interface in a way that might turn out to be incompatible with upstream.
