[Bug 1698630] Re: Gparted Start scans whole system, even i want format usb device

[Curtis Gedak]

@Phillip, scanning is performed to determine which devices are present,
what partition tables these contain, what file systems are in the
partitions, and other details such as volume labels, free space, UUID,
etc.

Title:
  Gparted Start scans whole system, even i want format usb device

Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  GParted 0.25.0
  Linux Mint 18.1 x64 MATE (based on Ubuntu 16.04)

  When i start it, it scanns my whole system, even if i want to format an usb device.
  Thats senseless.
  I don't want, that GParted starts scanning my whole slow HDD if i only want to resize my external HDD or USB device.
  As example, i want to resize one partition first, then execute the task and then gparted scans my internal HDD again, while I only want to make changes at my external hdd.

  Or when I start GParted.
  It should only start scanning a HDD if I CHOOSE IT.
  Not everything while it starts.
