@dino99. Thanks for running the extra tests. The concern was that "blkid -c /dev/null" would take a long time on a BIOS that was incorrectly configured to indicate it had a floppy device when no physical device was present. Phillip is correct, this is fixed in GParted 0.12.0.

@Phillip, GParted 0.11.0 still used the "blkid -c /dev/null" call so it would exhibit the problem. If you are patching the package, then the fix for this would be a good one to include with GParted 0.11.0.
