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

[Curtis Gedak]

Phillip, I agree that there should be no difference if blkid is run by
hand in a terminal, or by gparted.

When GParted spawns the the blkid command, it uses the C locale (e.g.,
LC_ALL=C).  I don't think that this should make any difference.

Assuming my hypothesis is correct, then if Ubuntu is booted and you
immediately run blkid by hand, then it should display the same behaviour
as if it were run by gparted.

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.
