Hi Nicklas, Thanks for the extra info! This sounds like an issue with blkid (and/or your system), rather than a cloud-init bug. I've added a util-linux bug task (which is the package that ships blkid), and I'm going to mark the cloud-init bug task Invalid as I don't believe that there's anything we can do to help you from our perspective.
If you think this is incorrect, please do let us know! Thanks!

It spawns sub-processes "blkid -c /dev/null -o export" which gets stuck in the "D" uninterruptible sleep state. The processes cannot be killed, so the only solution is to reboot the affected server. root 3839 0.0 0.0 4760 1840 ?
