GParted acting odd.

Hi,

I put GParted on my Arch Openbox system, but when I go into it as sudo gparted, it gives me a message saying The enclosing drive for the volume is locked. for each of the partitions, and it also appears to mount them all in /mnt with their sda number. Is this normal or is there a way for me to stop it from doing this, as it stops me from doing anything with the partions unless I keep un-mounting them all the time.   

It's only a minor annoyance but if anyone knows what I can do it'l be a big help.

Thanks,
Ben.
