Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
I have started the Edgy 6.10 beta ISO cdrom with the intention to install a
test image of the OS on my external USB disk (200GB).
After booting up, with the external USB disk powered up and connected to the
system, I started the installation program from the desktop. As soon as I have
reached the selection of the install media I decided to perform the partition
manually (having already other partitions on my external USB disk). This lead
to the start of the gparted program.
At that point I tried to select the second external disk on gparted but in the
upper right hard disk device selection widget (of gparted) only one disk was
available (the default internal one: /dev/sda).
Just to be sure that the external USB was correctly connected and available to
the system I opened up the terminal and performed a "sudo fdisk -l" command
and the external disk was visible with all the related partitions. As a first
attempt to understand the reason behind this behaviour I tried to see if the
problem was really due to gparted I tried to see the gparted invocation command
but I did not find anything relevant in this context.
