@@ -4,18 +4,21 @@ This program is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
filesystem type of a volume and the label and uuid to name a device node.
vol_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline. The following
commandline switches are supported to specify what vol_id should print:
-
- --export prints all values
- -h prints help text
- -l prints the label of the volume
- -u prints the uuid of the volume
+ --export export key/value pairs
+ --type filesystem type
+ --label filesystem label
+ --label-raw raw label
+ --uuid filesystem uuid
+ --skip-raid don't probe for raid
+ --probe-all find possibly conflicting signatures
+ --help
vol_id will only return successful if the string asked for, is not
empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by underscore
and slashes ignored.
