It seems to be a problem which is related to "blkid".

   blkid from util-linux 2.21.2 (libblkid 2.21.0, 25-May-2012
   findfs from the same "util-linux" packet
   kernel 3.6.11

Is that new enough?

-------------------------------------------

Reproducable:
USB stick with 3 btrfs partitions

cold start without stick, logged in as "root"
        blkid           works

Stick inserted:
        blkid           works
        fdisk -l        works

   btrfs device scan    works
        blkid           works

   btrfs-show           works
        blkid           hangs

        blkid /dev/sdb1 works

I don't know who may be responsible for this problem - btrfs or blkid or  
both.



Viele Gruesse!
