[opensuse-factory] Problem with zypper update since ~2weeks in Tumbleweed because grub2 hangs
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. Best regards Tobias Ries P.S. Thanks for fixing FreeCad again. :-)

remove the particular "manufacturer partition" from /etc/fstab or set it to only mount manually. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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)

A better workaround is probably to disable "probe for other operating systems" in YaST, but before that, write the bugzilla that Andrei Borzenkov is asking for :-) Of course, the side effect will be that grub will not have an entry for Windows, but you can add one manually (/boot/grub2/custom.cfg). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
