Is it safe to use gparted ?

Hi
That looks like you switched to root user via su rather than su - so have retained your user environment…

Yes, it is probably safe.

I did just test in a virtual machine, and I got something similar.

It looks as if “gparted” wants to make sure that mounts by “systemd” don’t interfere. So it makes temporary changes. And then, when finished, it undoes those temporary changes.

Keep in mind that “/run” is a temporary directory (mounted “tmpfs”), so it goes away when you shutdown or reboot, and a clean “/run” is created for the next boot.

I’ve tried

su - 

but it didn’t help.

Well, thank you.

Using another init system probably is not possible.
