For example Suse uses mount+volumeid, RHEL/FC uses mount+libblkid. > is there something libvolume_id provides that libuuid (from e2fsprogs) > doesnt ? what i'm getting at is udev is a linux-2.6ism so relying on it kind > of sucks i think ... e2fsprogs is for all linux versions ... The mount+libblkid (= mount(8) linked against libblkid from e2fsprogs) is independent on udev and I think (I didn't test it) you can use it on non-2.6 systems. (Hehe.. 2.6ism, nice argument why blkid is better :-))) although that's not so important from my POV.) Kay added to CC: (libvolume_id maintainer). Thanks, it seems like a good idea to test release util-linux-ng candidates on 2.4 kernels too.
