In order to find a match between the device paths in mount files and
partitions as found by libparted, the mount device must be a real path
and not a symbolic link.
Closes GParted bug #582687
Excerpt from parted-1.9.0 release notes follows:
In libparted, the linux-swap "filesystem" types are now called
"linux-swap(v0)" and "linux-swap(v1)" rather than "linux-swap(old)"
and "linux-swap(new)" as in parted 1.8, or "linux-swap" as in older
versions; "old" and "new" generally make poor names, and v1 is the
only format supported by current Linux kernels. Aliases for all
previous names are available.
Previously the read_mountpoints_from_file() method only expected
a space between arguments in files such as /etc/fstab. Valid
delimiters are now space and tab.

To further minimize the chance of accidentally creating a new partition
table, the following steps have been taken:
1) Rename non-standard Create button to stock Apply button.
2) Remove extra warning about erasing entire disk device.
3) Update GParted Manual accordingly.
Closes GParted bug #576374

It appears that different dmraid versions handle specifying a
single dmraid device differently.
dmraid-1.0.0.rc14 uses a partial name only,
such as "isw" or "isw_cjbdddajhi".
dmriad-1.0.0.rc15 uses a full name only,
such as "isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0".
To maintain compatibility with the broadest range of dmraid versions,
the ability to specify a single dmraid device is being removed.
