That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/46183

"disks-admin crashes after a few seconds, while scanning disks and partitions. I have a fake-raid, which I guess is the reason.

sudo disks-admin

Interesting, it seems like the raw devices /dev/sda and /dev/sdb also have been mounted! They show up in "Computer" too. This is a bug somewhere else, like hal or nautilus.

I can confirm that disks-admin itself mounts these raw devices. In addition it mounts the ntfs partitions rw (according to the attached mount output)."
Comment 1 Pedro Villavicencio 2007-07-20 20:37:53 UTC 
is this still reproducible with a newer version of g-s-t?

Comment 3 Carlos Garnacho 2008-01-07 23:58:39 UTC 
Mass closing of remaining disks-admin and boot-admin bugs, sorry for the spam. Both tools are bitrotting, and no development is likely to happen on them.
