[Bug 66465] what do we do with disk management in ubuntu?

[jens_acamedia]

Public bug reported:

as far as i can see in edgy and gnome 2.16 there is no disk management
tool.

this means, for example, that a user is unable to format a usb-stick.
they will often come pre-formatted as fat32 but there are many usb-
devices which a user will want in ext3 and not fat32 or whatever else.

what are we going to do about this? is there a plan? apparently gnome
has given up on disk-management.

should we include gparted by default? we can not allow the necessity to
use the terminal for a task this trivial in ubuntu...especially since
with edgy there is no need for the terminal for any other task (in other
words it is becoming complete as a a desktop solution)...
