Package: udisks
Version: 1.0.4-7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I've tried to reformat an external 1TB USB2-HDD from NTFS to ext4 with the
gnome diskmanager (palimpsest)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I started formatting to ext4. While formatting was still ongoing, I recognized
the Partition Type byte was still set to NTFS. I changed it to 0x83Linux.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The Computer became quite slow, one processor always showing 100% load. The
udisks-daemon took most of the physical 8GB memory, and the swap was filling
rapidly.
When the udisks-daemons memory consuption reached almost 16GB memory, I decided
to reboot the system.
After rebooting, I used gparted to change the partition type an reformat it to
ext4. It took only a few seconds, no odds.
