Warren, It does appear that the blkid command without any parameter is hung, and that blkid was invoked from gparted.
When you run GParted, has Ubuntu been running for a while, or did you immediately start up GParted as soon as Ubuntu booted? The reason I ask is I have a hypothesis that internally blkid has to run at least once to build a cache of device information. If the cache has not yet been built, then calls blkid (without the -c /dev/null to bypass the cache) will have to wait until the cache of device information has been built. -- 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
