[Bug 121943] Re: Gparted scan for device infinitely because of filesystem check (dosfsck)

[Curtis Gedak]

An extremely fragmented NTFS file system will also cause this delay.  Be
sure to try defragmenting first.

Title:
  Gparted scan for device infinitely because of filesystem check
  (dosfsck)

Status in Gnome Partition Editor:
  Confirmed
Status in “dosfstools” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gparted

  Gparted freezes when starting while a external USB HD is connected and
  unmounted. It keeps scanning HD for hours and Dosfsck uses 100% of the
  CPU, even when Gparted is closed.

  the USB HD contain 2 unmounted partitions, the first is Fat32 and the
  other is ext2. They were automounted and unmounted just before starter
  Gparted.

  The steps to reproduce this are :

  1. Connect a external HD with two partitions, 1 Fat32 and 1 ext2
  2. Umount the partitions with sudo umount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2
  3. Start Gparted

  Gparted is now looking for HD for hours and the CPU keeps at 100% even
  when Gparted is closed.
