2009-01-27 16:23:53 oss_test_launchpad gparted: statusexplanation 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: vincent@gq:~$ 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 vincent@gq:~$ 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.
