I had this problem occur recently and was able to work with one of my System Administrators to narrow it down. I saw the floppy text in the output so I asked my Sys Admin to connect the Floppy Drive in VCenter to the VMs that were having this issue (3 new 18.04 installs) and the issue is now resolved on all of them. blkid, mdadm, nor fdisk hang anymore; they all work as they should. Not sure where the issue exactly lies, but connecting a floppy helped resolve it for now. I have a lot of other 16.04 servers that do not have this issue, for what it's worth.
