Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
GParted in Gutsy appears to truncate device names for /dev/mapper
devices, omitting the partition number from the end. I've attached a
screenshot, showing GParted listing 8 partitions on 1 device, all with
apparently identical device names. Note, the ouptut of fdisk -l
/dev/mapper/nvidia_effeccbe is:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_effeccbe
Disk /dev/mapper/nvidia_effeccbe: 500.1 GB, 500118585344 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60802 cylinders

...which is what I'd expect to see in GParted
