The problem seems to stem from dosfsck (dosfsck -a -w -v /dev/sdb1 for me) checking a fat32 partition, when i tried that command in the terminal it nook a similar amount of time.
the hang isn't permanent, it just takes a long time to complete the command. ** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- gparted hangs with unmounted external drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
