Description

Description

The issue might have something to do with the backend btrfs qgroup scan process.
I can see serial terminal output gets stuck with messages:

*** Starting YaST ***
WARNING: Nokogiri was built against LibXML version 2.9.14, but has dynamically loaded 2.10.3
[  600.404515][  T163] BTRFS info (device vda2): qgroup scan completed (inconsistency flag cleared)

We may need to refresh it
