I tried to format an external USB drive as ext2, but the automounting of the drive prevented me to do so. If I unmount the drive before to start, the drive seems to re-initiate mounting during gparted attempt at formatting. It seems that the creation of the partition triggers the event, then the formatting cannot proceed. gparted-0.2.4 with parted-1.7.1-r1 and gparted report automounting disabled.

this is fixed since gparted-0.3, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220 for more information. @blubb, can't we stable gparted-0.3.1? it's as stable as 0.2.* and contains important new features (e.g. move the start of partitions).
sure we can :) arches, please stablize 0.3.1 as per comment 1, thankees.
