[Bug 689593] Re: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when performing partition modifications via udisks

[Øyvind Stegard]

I erased existing FAT32 partition on USB drive with fdisk, and that
allowed me to successfully transfer a Ubuntu 13.10 image to the drive
using startup disk creator.

Bug description:
  When unsetting the bootable flag on a partition using palimpsest, the
  following things happen:

  - udisks-helper-modify-partition and udisks-daemon processes use 100% CPU each
  - udisks-daemon chews about 18MiB of memory each second

  This problem exists regardless of whether the partition is mounted or
  not.
