[Bug 19732] Re: resize takes a lot of time without user-feedback

[orasis]

in my case I wanted to setup ubuntu 10.04 on a 7 year old pc with a 7
year old pata 80gb wd blank hdd, which was previously ntfs formated. the
drive had only 1 partition, went to change its size plus turn it to
swap. since I clicked ok to begin, about 30 minutes or more have passed
and it is still at 61%. I believe its an operation that should complete
very very fast. I though of posting this here while it is doing it next
to me.

Title:
  resize takes a lot of time without user-feedback

Status in “partman-partitioning” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I resized a 130GB partition with the 20050815 image and resizing my partition
  took a long time with very little feedback (0% stayed for a very long time). 

  It would be nice if more feedback would be displayed (or a message that a resize
  may take a lot of time).
