Title:
  Changing partition type uses 100% cpu for long time

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udisks

  In the Administration -> Disk Utility I went to my HD under SATA Host
  Adaptor -> 320 GB Hard Disk. Selected an "Unknown" 48GB partition
  within the extended partition. Clicked Edit Partition, changed the
  type to 0x07 NTFS and clicked Apply. Wait cursor appeared and CPU went
  to 100% utilisation. Continued for 7+ minutes before eventually
  terminating and NOT making the type change!

  Line from ps aux:
  root      2814 83.8  0.0   3744  1388 ?        R    15:00   7:13 udisks-helper-modify-partition /dev/sda 272152657920 47919923200 0x07

  May be HD problem as cfdisk /dev/sda gives error even though whole thing was created by Ubuntu installer:
  FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder

  Andrew
