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.
