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

[Antonio19]

I can confirm today that it's not directly linked to VMware Workstation
... However I had an image restored from before this bug appeared and I
was just free of this bug until a few days ago when I installed QEMU and
today KVM. I suspect that QEMU did bring back the issue ...

I know that Oracle VirtualBox uses parts of QEMU, I don't know yet for
VMware.

I am in contact with VMware about this issue and as of last week they
were ot able to reproduce this bug.

I have an old graphic card ATI Radeon 3870 and an ASUS Motherboard P5Q3
Deluxe WiFi. I have a new nVidia card GTI 660 Ti which I will install my
be next week.

Can other people affected by this bug post their hardware configuration
?

Can you please elaborate on the "blacklist fd0" ? Thank you.

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
