[Bug 528073] Re: blkid (sometimes?) hangs on extended partition if same device name existed before partitioning

[Rüdiger Kupper]

11.10

When calling "update-grub" (which is also called during upgrades of
kernel packages), the process hangs. In the table of processes, I see a
process called "grub-mount" trying to mount an ntfs partition. After
manually killing it, it proceeds to my next ntfs partition, and agin
hangs. After manually killing it again, it proceeds nicely with the rest
of my partitions (non-ntfs).

This looks as if grub-mount has difficulties mounting ntfs partitions.
This never happened before.

Title:
  blkid (sometimes?) hangs on extended partition if same device name
  existed before partitioning

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: os-prober

  
  The installer hangs at 93% (looking for other OS), this is because usr/lib/os-probe/50mounted-tests on /dev/sda2 is hanging because /dev/sda2 is not present.
