This debug log message is generated by udev-builtin-blkid.c, right
after opening the block device, and right before issuing the probe,
i.e. reading the fs label/partition table signatures off disk. If
things hang there, and the blkid prober worker process freezes then
this really looks like a hw/driver problem, i.e. IO access from the
block device just hangs.
