Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted

In Gutsy, when I launch Partition Editor and then hit Refresh Devices, gparted closes. There is no error displayed. Re-launching Partition Editor works also.

Same problem here. Couple errors.

======================
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md0 (Invalid argument). This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/md0.
