I'm using gparted to partition and lay down a filesystem on a hard drive connected externally via a USB adapter. The problem is every time I create a new partition the system mounts the partition immediately, and then gparted complains that it can't create the filesystem because the partition is mounted. Is there a way to stop this automatic mounting?
Not an answer for you (probably some nautilus configuration, if you use GNOME), but how does it manage to mount a partition without a filesystem? What do you see in the mounted partition? -- Kushal
