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

[Curtis Gedak]

John and Antonio19,

When this problem occurs, is there at least one disk device that does
not contain a valid partition table?

You can check using the "sudo fdisk -l" command.

I am curioius because this might be related to a gparted upstream bug
report:

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
