[Bug 1900282] [NEW] Can create MINIX partition on GPT disk, but it reports an error

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Public bug reported:

I was creating all the partition types I could on a GPT disk, to check
that some software I'm working on would handle them all right.  I could
create MINIX partition, but when it finished, and rescanned partitions,
it showed an alert next to the partition name, and the info said it
could not access the partition.  It hints that util-linux might be
needed, but I already had it at the latest version.

In fact the partition mounts just fine and I can create and use files in
it, so I suspect an error in the gparted (or parted) scanning code.
