Bug#390402: gnome-system-tools: Wrong filesystem type description for LVM

[Fabio Pugliese Ornellas]

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 2.14.0-2+b1
Severity: important


The disks-admin utility report that my physical volume from my LVM as
"unformatted". Right after it, a butto to format it.

We can not even talk about filesystem in this partition, since there are
3 layer from LVM before the filesystem itself: Physical Volume, Volume
Group and Logical Volume.

It also reports that there are 2 hard disks on my system, but I Have
only one disk. My guess is that one of my LVM stuff is detected as this
ghost hard disk. When I click on it, I get an instant crash.

A newbie user could think that it can format and use tha LVM space
(since it really says this space is free) and loose all his data.
