Hi,
A few weeks ago I wrote a bug against the blkid command,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi.
I am still having trouble with blkid, this time it's in a VM (VirtualBox)
while upgrading from FC32 to FC33.
blkid is at the util-linux-2.35.1-4.fc32.x86_64 level running on kernel
5.6.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32.x86_64.
The install has been running for 16+ hours now and appears to be hung in
the kernel upgrade:
Running scriptlet:
libreoffice-data-1:6.4.0.3-2.fc32.noarch

Running scriptlet:
pulseaudio-13.99.1-1.fc33.x86_64

Running scriptlet:

Here's what pstree says about the dnf process:

I have done "strace -xvfp <pid>" on all the processes listed. NONE are
running. ALL "say" they're waiting on a system call like wait or read
except for the blkid process which reports NOTHING. I tried killing the
blkid process but that just schedules, IIRC, a kill signal against it's
process but since that process doesn't seem to be getting any cpu time, the
kill will NEVER complete.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Write another bug report?
Maybe i misunderstood, but don't write up another bug report for the same
bug. That's a dup and should be closed.
But what you're describing sounds bad. So you have to do the tedious work
of narrowing it down. Does it happen with clean installs of F33? Or just
upgrades? Does it happen in a qemu-kvm VM? Or just Virtual Box?
I'm pretty sure they're are vbox modules built now in Fedora kernels? But
I'm not clear on specifics. I think 5.6 has merged some upstream work, and
also Fedora folks backported it to 5.5.
