Attached is an updated patch per the above, using the TYPE="zfs_volume".

Applied (with a small change, %llu -> %PRIu64), thanks.

I have a question (not sure if we have talked about it) -- you have
UUIDs in the decimal format (%PRIu64 now), but we usually have UUIDs
in the hexadecimal format, it means %PRIx64. Is it necessary to use
the decimal notation?


The current ZFS tools (e.g. zdb) print out the GUID in decimal format, and it makes sense to keep the same format as those tools, for ease of identification. It would be highly confusing if "zdb -l" printed the GUID in decimal and "blkid" printed it in hex...

# zdb -l /dev/sda1
   ...
   pool_guid=11393919850767138023
   guid=5712497783286539221

# blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="zpios" UUID="11393919850767138023" UUID_SUB="5712497783286539221 " TYPE="zfs-member"

Cheers, Andreas
