I don't think it is considered a bug by anyone. If the bios claims you have a floppy, then the kernel thinks you have a floppy. If you try to access the floppy, the the kernel tries it's hardest to access it, even though it keeps failing. > In the past if I changed the label of a partition with GParted and then > called blkid, I received the cached result which was the old label. > That is why I used the "-c /dev/null" to force blkid to re-read the > information. > > I have not tested to see if blkid still has this same behaviour. Right, if you call it before udev has had a chance to run it to update the cache, that would happen. If you are changing the label, why don't you just update your cached label directly instead of querying blkid again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910379 Title: Gparted does not start and continues to scan devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/910379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
