[Bug 1159288] Re: GParted hang while Scanning all devices for 10 to 15 mn

[John Buczek]

I'm also seeing gparted (V0.12.1) spend 20+ min.  Either there are two
very similar problems or this is not directly related to VM ware.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64

Also VBox 4.2.0 r80737 but I have no direct evidence that's related.

I first noticed the problem after the most recent kernal update
(3.5.0-27 generic) but may be related to a new mb installed about the
same time.  Prior to those changes gparted worked great.

There was no floppy activated on the old mb.  
The new mb, Gigabyte 800GM-D2H has no fd controller and there are no fd options in the BIOS.

gparted has become unusable.  After every operation it re-scans eating
another 20 min.

Title:
  GParted hang while Scanning all devices for 10 to 15 mn

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  sudo blkid command hangs as well and does not return anything in an
  acceptable time.

  when trying to launch gparted from the command line I get an error
  message.

  If I close the hanging window of gparted "Scanning all devices..."
  then when attempting a relaunch it crash at startup.

  I had this kind of behaviour before  for blkid and later on it
  reverted to a normal behaviour. Now again blkid is not working and
  gparted is for the first time not working as well. e.g. I have to wait
  for 10 to 15 mn to get it up and running.

  This erratic behaviour of blkid and gparted is unerving.

  I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
