GParted News Item 82

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.

See the Release Notes for more details.
