Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
gparted automaticly mounts all filesystems and it seems like a very nice
feature, but it makes my resizing operations and other operations I want to do
with gparted to fail. I would make it optional if I want to automount the
partitions when I start gparted. Ayway, I think gparted should not be used to
mount partitions and think therefore that this is actually bad behaviour.
Maybe there is a good reason thought to automount all filesystems when gparted
starts, but as said before: when doing some stuff with gparted this can mess up
the total behaviour and _could_ result in a filesystem problem!
Example; after resizing my ext3 partition gparted automounted the
partition again. The result was that gparted could not check for any
faults using e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdb1 because the filesystem was
mounted. I think this last check is very important and as it can save
one from loosing data when the resizing did not go as planned.
For more info please contact me.
