[Bug 579703] Re: gparted wrongly reports partition "mounted" when uuid and label are duplicates

[Dallman Ross]

Thanks for checking, Phillip, and for bringing the change to my
attention.  I tested it last night and find that you are correct.  The
bugs is now fixed in Oneiric.  Only took two years! :-)

I did find that Plymouth's splash screen screwed itself up when I
duplicated my Oneiric boot partition and rebooted with the UUID still
identical to the original version's.  After I deleted the test clone
partition, I had to run  "update-initramfs -u" to get that back.

Title:
  gparted wrongly reports partition "mounted" when uuid and label are
  duplicates

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: yelp

  Running GParted 0.5.1, I found that /dev/sde7 was reported as mounted
  although it was not mounted.  Trying to ascertain why, I discovered
  that it was a clone of /dev/sda1; "clone" meaning the device label and
  uuid were also the same.

  I changed the uuid of /dev/sde7 using tune2fs, refreshed the disk read
  in GParted, and saw that the erroneous report of a mounted device went
  away.

  Here is a screen shot.

  I am using Lucid (10.04), 64-bit.

  I expect GParted not to report "mounted" when a device is not actually
  mounted.
