HUH??
Either we are using terms differently OR I'm weird OR both ;

I'm explicitly wish the information Gparted displays for each partition 
of a physical device.

The column titles are "Partition", "File System", "Label", "Size", 
"Used", "Unused", and "Flags".

I need all but the last as text.

And Gparted has no problem displaying the information independent of 
being mounted or not.
