Bug Description
GParted 0.25.0
Linux Mint 18.1 x64 MATE (based on Ubuntu 16.04)
When i start it, it scanns my whole system, even if i want to format an usb device.
Thats senseless.
I don't want, that GParted starts scanning my whole slow HDD if i only want to resize my external HDD or USB device.
As example, i want to resize one partition first, then execute the task and then gparted scans my internal HDD again, while I only want to make changes at my external hdd.
Or when I start GParted.
It should only start scanning a HDD if I CHOOSE IT.
Not everything while it starts.
To post a comment you must log in.
GParted already supports scanning only the devices you pass to it. This is most easily done from a terminal window.
For example if you wish to scan only /dev/sdf, you can use the following:
sudo gparted /dev/sdf
See the GParted Manual [1] for more information.
