Name-calling people is unfortunately not helping. Note that there are quite few people capable of fixing code on this kind of low level software. There is also always limited amount of people who are both able to fix the problem, who have the affected hardware and are motivated enough to fix it on their free time. Name-calling is certainly not motivating.
In the more "reality calls" perspective, this sounds like a very important bug, but there are more bugs reported in Launchpad, and generally in all the software on the planet, than anyone will be able to fix. Data corruption bugs are very important of course, and probably something that should be on the radar of the few paid developers as well, but note that there are again thousands of reported bugs per one paid developer. In this specific case, I believe it being not fixed is a result of a combination of not finding this one skilled and motivated free-time contributor and not affecting anyone of the paid developers directly (who would potentially have the motivation to at least try to find the one person that could fix it). Finally, please note that the bug seems to be in parted software, which is not developed by Ubuntu developers as such at all.
