This isn't really blkid's fault. The problem is motherboards that have a
floppy controller with no actual floppy attached to it -- each time you
try and send a command to that, the entire controller hangs for some 30
seconds before it finally fails. This affects anything that tries to
talk to it, not just blkid.

** Summary changed:

- blkid is hanging, or at least taking a long time to process partition statistics
+ blkid is hanging on probing nonexistant floppy drive

Title:
  blkid is hanging on probing nonexistant floppy drive

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Lubuntu 12.10 i386 3.5.0-11-generic
  2. util-linux 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu1
  3. I expected sudo blkid to display partition stats. This bug is reference to bug #1029149 gparted never completing scanning all devices.
  4. I do not get the desired output from gparted or sudo blkid.

  The attached screenshot show the lack of results when using the sudo
  blkid command.
