Dear Tumbleweed team,
since about 2-3 weeks zypper dup does not work smoothly any more on my tumbleweed installation because it calls grub2 and grub2 hangs with 100% load on one cpu core.
I found out, that the reason for this is that grub2 fails to mount / read / identify a manufacturer partition (of hp) which causes it to hang.
My current workaround is to kill the grub2 process. Then the update procedure continues without errors.
However it's a bit annoying because this has to be done about 5-7times during an update process and also once after a normal system start.
If you require further information (like details about system partition information), please don't hesitate to contact me.
remove the particular "manufacturer partition" from /etc/fstab or set it to only mount manually.
No, this thing scans every partition on every disk, even floppies. Even the extended container partition I noticed was scanned for content and type years ago. It is like doing "file -S /dev/sd*" or more. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
