Cassandra LIve Bug?: Running GParted automounts partitions

[silentstone]

Whether or not I run gparted from the main menu or terminal, as normal user, mint, or administrative user, root. it starts up and proceeds to mount all the partitions on the internal HDD's. Frustrating, because you can't modify partitions while they're mounted. OR at least, that's never worked before. Has that changed?

I thought it might be a bug, but since nobody else has mentioned it (as far as I can tell, swimming through the multitude of disk-mounting problems), maybe it's just my hardware? Or interference from currently installed distro's--Mint 2.2, Mepis 6.0.

Here's the response from starting up on the terminal, as root:

Code: Select all

root@mint:/home/mint# gparted /dev/hdb &
[1] 11675

Well, I was able to continue partitioning after unmounting all the partitions on the target drive. I had to leave gparted open for this, else restarting gparted--or just "refresh devices" from within gparted--would mount everything again. As it is, right after gparted finished partitioning, all the partitions remounted. Again.

BTW, each time the partitions mount, they pop-up file browser windows. And they get mounted under /media/disk, /media/disk-1, /media/disk-2, and so on.
