GParted hangs when non-named device is hung
i'm on a system with some not-responding devices whereupon the invocation
gparted /dev/foo
will hang indefinitely on scanning all devices...
because /dev/bar is non-responding, everything trying to read/open /dev/bar will hang.
it would be nice if gparted could get some gparted --only-this-device /dev/foo
argument for only reading the specified device, rather than all detected devices.
