I don't see that requirement anywhere in the vol_id code. It's a stand-alone binary that should work with just about any kernel version, as it just talks to the block device directly. No udev requirement at all (it just happens to live in the udev source tree for now, I think that's changing as HAL and some other utilities are starting to rely on it.) Anyway, I don't have any objection to blkid, just trying to point out another solution, instead of having the original poster try to reinvent the wheel again :) thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
