Public bug reported:
Wanted to install Xbuntu 12.10 along side Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.10. Needed
to create 4 further partitions (boot,swap,/ and home) in a pre-exsisting
extended partition. Booted from a Xubuntu 12.10 Live CD on my HP Envy
Sleekbook and ran up Gparted.
What I expected to happen:
I expected to be able to shrink a 230gig partition and create 4 additional
partitions. To my surprise the extended partition was already mounted when I
selected unmount partition in Gparted, Gparted completed the action but then
Xubuntu remounted it automatically and opened a filemanager window for every
other partition as well.
What happened instead:
I found I could not unmount any partition without it being automatically
remounted.
Installed Xbuntu 12.10 on my Desktop (clean install from a CD). Using
Gparted I cannot unmount a spare partition without Xubuntu automatically
remounting it.
The Automount feature needs an operator control to allow use of Gparted.
