[parted-devel] bug in parted 1.8.2 ??? [POINTED OUT]

[LarryT]

Well, i had some problem with livecd so i didn't get any free time to 
make what you did ATM.

Anyway, the bug seems to be fixed, after someone reported that the 
problem comes from parted who scans cdrom fs !
I made tests and must say GParted doesn't crash anymore if i first 
remove the livecd from /dev/cdrom !

Thx
