Topic: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

This appeared during a try to resize a partition, but GParted hangs on any attempt to "Check" the FAT filesystem on my microSD card. Simply the UI doesn't update and if a window appears over GParted, this part of the UI stays gray. A lot of such informations are in the stdout.

(gpartedbin:3076): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 1414 was not found when attempting to remove it

Is there any way to fix it? What might be going wrong? I'm using Linux Mint 17

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

Hi,

We have this known bug which probably accounts for the error messages you are seeing:
Bug 731740 - Expand 2nd level Progress Details yields GLib-CRITICAL Source ID message

GParted UI shouldn't hang and it's a bug when it does.  We know that it can hang when doing some operations with FAT16 or FAT32 file systems.

Did the GParted UI eventually respond?
What operation took the time?  Please save the operation details and upload gparted_details.htm.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

I eventually copied data, deleted all partitions and created them from scratch. But I'll try to say all I remember:

the operation was "Check filesystem for errors and fix them", fsck.fat -a -v -w /dev/sdc1

I did go the the 2nd level for suboperation and there was, what's weird, nothing after the fsck step. (fsck was the last step, although the partition hadn't been resized yet)

It didn't respond. Sometimes the UI simply crashed (60-70% of cases). When it didn't crash, gpartedbin could run for 30+ minutes on 100% CPU without anything I could notice.

I only resized a FAT32 partition from ~31GiB, so that 1537MiB is left. After such resize, GParted reported to be exactly 1536 MiB space left (in the theoretical operation creator)

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

Which version of GParted are you running?

(Quick search suggests Linux Mint 17 has GParted 0.18.0.  The latest is GParted 0.19.1.  Between these releases there have been 2 fixes to address crashes when applying operations.  See GParted News for details).

Can you try GParted 0.19.1?

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

On my other device I came across the same problem, so I've just upgraded to 0.19.1 and I'll see what happens.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

After launching GParted and looking at the filesystem after the crash there's 2GiB of unallocated space inside the partition.
The output from the terminal is:

$ sudo gparted
======================
libparted : 2.3
======================
*** Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000012a9690 ***
Aborted

On the other hand, after the try from the terminal the partition is correct. Weird.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

Another try with a fat32 partition (added more space here)

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

What set of steps did you use to upgrade to GParted 0.19.1?

The reason I ask is to determine which version is actually running.  You can check the version by checking the menu "Help -> About".

If you compiled GParted from source code using the default configure options, then "make install" will install gparted in /usr/local/sbin.  Unless the PATH has been modified, "sudo gparted" will run the first executable it encounters which would be the one in /sbin/gparted if the distro package was not uninstalled.

One way to be sure you are running the latest version is to boot from media containing GParted Live.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

I used the version from the GetDeb repo

$ apt-cache policy gparted
gparted:
  Installed: 0.19.1-1~getdeb1
  Candidate: 0.19.1-1~getdeb1
  Version table:
 *** 0.19.1-1~getdeb1 0
        500 http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ trusty-getdeb/apps amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.18.0-1 0
        500 ht tp : // archive. ubuntu . com / ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

About shows 0.19.1 too.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

In an effort to try to rule out possible problems in the shared libraries used by GParted, would you be able to try downloading and booting from GParted Live?
The latest version is 0.19.1-4.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

On the live USB the progress window hangs, but completes the job successfully.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

Thanks for trying GParted Live and confirming that the job completes successfully.

Regarding the progress window hang, I suspect the following report applies:
Bug 737022 - UI hangs while running libparted operations such as FAT16/FAT32 resizing

The "Partition -> Check" menu option checks the file system and then tries to ensure that the file system has been maximized to fix within the partition (a resize operation).

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

Hi,

The problems come back. Using version 0.22.0-1~getdeb1. GParted crashes (not hangs) while I'm trying to shrink a fat32 partition

What the hell is with GParted that it can't properly shrink a FAT32 partition? And a manual fsck causes a hang.
But I can't really wait so I'll swallow the fact I need to delete the FAT32 partition and reformat it.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

This problem originates in the libparted library and was introduced in libparted version 3.2.

To avoid the problem, a patched version of the libparted library must be used.  The patch is outlined in Bug 735669 - GParted crashes resizing fat16 file system.

Until the distro you're using gets the patch, please try GParted Live which contains the libparted patch.

You might also consider raising this issue for your distro.

Thanks! Mint 17.1 takes Trusty as its base. Libparted 3.2 was introduced in Utopic.

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

I believe that Trusty uses an older version of libparted.

Did GParted Live work for you?

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

I didn't try it. As I said I was in a hurry and didn't have much data so I decided to remove the fat32 partition. Trusty uses libparted 2.3

Re: GParted freezes or crashes during fsck

If the problem occurs again, please try with the latest GParted Live.  There are several known bugs in older versions of GParted and libparted that have been fixed in newer versions.
