Ok, after looking at the change log to refresh my memory, gparted used to run blkid -c /dev/null, and this would hang when a floppy was misconfigured, so we changed it to just run blkid by itself.
So warren already said that blkid with no arguments does not hang, which is what we expect. Can you run ps aux | grep blkid while gparted is hung? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029149 Title: gparted automatically starts scanning all devices slowly and never completing the task To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1029149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
