Scott (Comment #4) is precisely right. I am not asking how to change UUIDs with GParted, though the feature would be a nice bonus. The bug is as I stated it and as Scott repeated it.
By the way, though, I did research changing UUIDs for NTFS and FAT32 partitions at that time. It can be done with dd, though it's not trivial to do. (JFGI. I did at the time of the original bug report.) ☺ It can also be done with free Windows software such as Partition Wizard 5 Home Edition, http://www.partitionwizard.com/, which I actually found via a Google search and installed on my 64-bit system and used successfully to solve the very issue I wrote the bug report about. And I've used it a number of times since and like it. The old Partition Magic also could do it, but it neither was freeware nor is in existence anyway these days. I'm sure there are other solutions. But let's not sidetrack ourselves: the bug is that a device is being reported as mounted when it is not mounted. Thanks, guys. -- gparted wrongly reports partition "mounted" when uuid and label are duplicates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
