[Bug 121943] Re: Gparted freezes with external USB HD
I confirm this bug for Ubuntu 8.10 64-Bit with gparted 3.8.0 that ships with Ubuntu 8.10. I tried to re-format an external Freecom HDD drive that had a broken filesystem, apparently due to a crash of Ubuntu's kvpm (http://www.kde- apps.org/content/show.php/kvpm?content=98298). Trying to format this HDD with gparted in ext3, the first time gparted made my whole system freeze completely. After reboot, I tried to format the HDD again and gparted told me that everything had been formatted fine. However, after refreshing, gparted told me that this HDD had an unknown filesystem. (Just to be complete: I then formatted it NTFS and gparted again told me everything was fine. Trying to copy some files onto this HDD, however, Ubuntu stopped copying and reported an I/O error. Checking on a Windows system as suggested by Ubuntu, I then noticed that the filesystem created by gparted was inconsistent (chkdsk /f).) ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Gparted freezes with external USB HD + Intrepid, Hardy: Gparted freezes with external USB HD -- Intrepid, Hardy: Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have this problem today. My System is an up to date 8.10 Ubuntu. I have a attached a 2.5 USB enclosure with a 30GB drive in it. The drive has a Primary FAT32 partition and a further extended FAT partition on it. -- Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm having the same problems. I have a 2tb external drive connected by USB. Formated to fat32 using OSX Disk Utility, Connected to Intrepid, Unmounted, then started gparted. Keeps spinning on Scanning all devices... a ps -waux | grep dos gives these processes: sh -c dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdc1 dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdc1 -- Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 121943] Re: Gparted freezes with external USB HD
Which version of dosfsck? What happens if you use dosfsck on the drive? Is there any indication from your process-list which dosfsck command is being executed? ** Changed in: dosfstools (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 121943] Re: Gparted freezes with external USB HD
This just happened to me too, I reformatted an old WD 205BA drive to a single primary fat32 partition and when I try to access it again dosfsck takes 100% cpu. here is the info you sought in a prior comment: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gparted gparted: Installed: 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 Candidate: 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 Version table: *** 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gparted == libparted : 1.7.1 == At this point gparted launches but never gets past scanning all devices and dosfsck takes 100%cpu. when I kill dosfsck gparted proceeds and displays the usual stuff except that the offending partition has the triangle-with-and-exclamation point icon after the device name. I've given up and put an ext3 partition on it instead - but I hope this helps because fat32 is sort of the lingua-franca of filesystems. ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since dosfsck seems to be the real problem here, I added dosfstools to the list so bug triagers for dosfsck can take a look at it.

I'm having trouble with this right now.

[Bug 121943] Re: Gparted freezes with external USB HD
Thanks for your comment, can you tell which version of gparted you are using? You can know this by typing this on a terminal : apt-cache policy gparted Can you also reproduce this bug from within a terminal and copy all the outputs that you get here? If possible, use the latest version of Gparted which you can install within Linux Ubuntu Gutsy. -- Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
