GParted 0.12.1 libparted : 2.3 Debian GNU/Linux 7.2 (wheezy) Gparted hangs with "Scanning all devices..'. Dosn't produce an error when starting it from terminal.
It takes me over 14 minutes before gparted finally give up fd0. (workaround is of course 'gparted /dev/sdX' OR uncomment fd0 in /etc/fstab and 'rmmod floppy' OR some kind of blacklisting of floppy module OR disable floppy in bios) 'dmesg' shows: [ 1195.692582] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 1207.868596] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 1207.868602] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 .. [ 2048.356502] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 2048.356508] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Still think its a silly that the program tries this 'hard' to read the device. Might be an idea to make a popup asking the user if he wants to continue trying the device (fd0) after 3 failed attempts. Its easy to reproduce this on my computer: modprobe floppy && gparted -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155047 Title: gparted hangs "Scanning all Devices" forever (because of /dev/fd0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/155047/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
