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.
