Apparently I got a bad disk, generating all kinds of messages on vtty10 in 13.1 running 3.12.44. It took more than a minute after trying to kill the partitioner[1] process that when started refused to respond to ESC, so I did ps -A on another vtty, then kill -9 the errant process. Killing took more than a minute to accomplish. All 3 disks connected to ICH8, sda & sdb making mdraid, sdc the new I was expecting to partition. Is this expected?
