As to running gparted as a regular user ... $ ls -l /dev/sd? brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sde brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdf I think member's of the disk group can do it as a regular user, but I have not tested it to see if there are other issues.
