GParted News Item 82
29 November 2008: GParted 0.4.1
This release of GParted rolls back /dev/mapper/* detection.
The problem was that all /dev/mapper/* entries were added to the device list including LVM partitions. This was confusing behaviour to GParted users, and in my opinion it was better to roll back this change.
A work-around for /dev/mapper/* device detection is available by passing the device names to gparted on the command line.
E.g.,
gparted /dev/mapper/device-name
Thanks to François Dupoux for identifying this problem early, and working towards a resolution.
See the Release Notes for more details.
