In case it's of use, I've also captured an image of my SanDisk SDCZ40-016G immediately after encountering this bug when trying to install ubuntu-13.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso using Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu 12.10. The image is 1.6 GB compressed.

[Bug 689593] Re: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest
I have this in 12.10. When I try to erase the USB with Startup Disk Creator, the two threads start using 100% CPU each and balloon to tens of gigabytes of memory in a matter of minutes. I've stored the raw usb disk contents (dd if=/dev/sdc) in case that's helpful to a developer, but it's 8GB so I won't store it forever and can't host it anywhere accessible over the internet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689593 Title: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/689593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By the way, not even a comment from an Ubuntu maintainer for 2 years, and yet using Startup Disk Creator is the official way to create install media. Imagine the scenario which must've happened more than once: Ubuntu Enthusiast: Here, I'll make you a USB stick so you can try it…wait…oh, my computer's frozen! Potential Ubuntu user: Thanks, I'll stick with Windows/Mac OS.

I have the same problem with an USB stick in 12.04, trying to unset the bootable flag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689593 Title: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/689593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 689593] Re: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest
Hi, I also just suffered this problem in Natty. Memory usage peaked at over 12gb virtual and the operation lasted for over 10 minutes. The memory situation resolved after this time with the udisks-daemon process ending, but palimpsest indicates that it's still waiting for the bootable flag operation to complete by the spinning circles in the partition. The partition was mounted at the time. I was trying to invert the bootable flag state, i.e. for device sdb1 to have 'bootable', and for device sb2 to not have the flag. david@desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 13 1024007 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sdb2 * 13 14594 1171159047 HPFS/NTFS Linux desktop 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689593 Title: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/689593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
