Comment 3 for bug 1282119

Created attachment 95344
requested diagnostics for a bug report

I'm dealing with problem that in some cases, randomly, udisks-daemon can take 100% of one CPU core and stops only when I kill it. I must admit also that my system battery is below 3V and I haven't changed it yet so there can be some connection.

I also found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6472936.html#6472936
that it can be a problem with locale.

There is a post which suggests that the problem occurs when user is not having quote mark at the first line of the locale:

[root@linux mk]# locale
LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 << missing "quote" mark
LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.UTF-8"
[...]

Messages which appeared in journalctl when udisks-daemon hanged up:

I mounted and unmnounted /dev/sdb thinking this could cause the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown. It happens even if PC is playing music and nothing is done on it.
