Comment 5 for bug 981402

I would have replied sooner, but I've been having health problems. Moving on...

When I did not run my script for 4 days, compiz did not "lockup" in an infinite loop.

Last night I ran a part of my script throughout the night (about 8 hours). When I woke up, I exited my script (on terminal F1) and waited several minutes. Again compiz appeared to be "lockedup" in an infinite loop.

All my partial script did was continuously run partprobe.

while true; do
partprobe /dev/sda
done

In conclusion, it appears that compiz is not playing nicely with partprobe.
