@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.
