Bug Description

The installer partitioner performs a slow scan of all hard drives after all changes, even those that do not change the layout of the drives themselves (for example, changing the mount-point of a partition).

Release: Kubuntu 7.10
Package: Installer
Expected: Simple changes that do not affect the size/number/type of partitions should not perform a slow scan
Found: Any change causes the partitioner to perform a slow scan of the hard drives, which is very frustrating

Thanks for the bug report. In the future when reporting bugs, if you know the effected package, please file it against the package and not Ubuntu itself. This is important as it helps make sure that the right developers see the bug.

I've filed this against ubiquity, the live CD installer.

Correction: The slow scan occurs after changing any property of a NTFS partition, but no others I have seen. I think this is possibly a result of trying to start the NTFS resize program even when no size changes were made.
