0.4.1 (2008-11-29)
|
|
====================
|
|
NOTES
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES
|
|
* Reopened bug - no longer sees /dev/mapper/* devices (#556114)
