I've experienced this bug in Jaunty and now in Karmic. I have 5 Western
Digital external USB drives (quite a lot, I know). I did a clean install
of Karmic, and after plugging in the drives I notice significant lags in
these operations:
- Starting up GNOME. I'm running on an SSD, so time to desktop
normally is around 10 seconds from GRUB. With the drives plugged in, it
takes an additional 10-15 seconds while each drive spins up.
- Opening the Places menu. Nautilus insists on spinning up each
drive when opening the Places menu.
- Opening Computer.
- Occasionally in Save or Open dialogs.
This is not fixed in GNOME 2.26. Can someone else confirm and reopen
this bug?
I'd be happy to provide any logs, just let me know which ones.
As the fellow who originally issued this report did:
