[Bug 1029149] Re: gparted automatically starts scanning all devices slowly and never completing the task

[Curtis Gedak]

The root of the problem is the misconfigured BIOS.  Having said this, it
appears that earlier versions of Lubuntu did not suffer from this
problem.  This suggests a change in some of the underlying utilities and
libraries.

Would you be able to reproduce the problem in Lubunut 12.10, and then
while GParted is endlessly scanning capture the output of all the
processes running with the following command?

ps -ef > ps-output.txt

Please post the contents of the ps-output.txt file here so that we can
investigate to see what command or utility might be taking a long time
to run.

Title:
  gparted automatically starts scanning all devices slowly and never
  completing the task

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1) Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha3 i386 (Live USB stick)
  2) gparted 0.12.1-1
  3) I expected to open gparted completing the system scan in a matter of seconds.
  4) When opened gparted the scanning all devices is never completed. The scanning all devices is extremely slow. It takes approximatetly 8 seconds for the orange indicator to move from left to right or right to left.
