When gparted starts up, it makes a call to the libparted library function ped_disk_commit_to_os(). This checks to see if the kernel can reread the partition table. If not, then gparted disables the "resize/move" menu option. The line of code that performs this check can be viewed at the following link: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/tree/src/GParted_Core.cc#n310 The by-product of calling ped_disk_commit_to_os() is that libparted removes and re-adds the partitions. This remove/re-add partition action appears to cause the blacklist to be cleared. To get around this unwanted by-product, one of the following would help: A) Use some other "non-partition-changing" method to test if the kernel can reread the partition table or B) Use some other method to prevent the blacklist from being cleared. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060484 Title: When using gparted com.canonical.Unity.Devices blacklist is set back to Default of [] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1060484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
