ntfs resize takes forever

[Stephen Buergler]

When I select that it should erase a disk and install there it queries my disks to see if my other disks with ntfs on them can be resized. This is unnecessary since I'm not using those disks. It also takes forever. It basically makes installing ubuntu impossible unless I disconnect those disks or I go and kill the pids associated with querying that information.

Attached is "px auxfww" output.

Does this information have to be queried or can it be queried in the background?
