gpart scans a drive trying to guess the location of partitions when an MBR partition table is lost [1]. However the tool is unmaintained, takes hours or days of 100% CPU time to scan a drive and provides no progress indication [2][3][4]. We keep recommending killing the gpart process and using TestDisk [5] instead. Therefore remove Device > Attempt Data Rescue and the use of gpart from GParted.
