Try using this way, which was its intended usage: blkid -o value -s TYPE -t UUID=a3dc6f56-da22-4079-bf75-1fa2ce1aa4b0 (replace part following -t with the search criteria you want; for example, "-t LABEL=backup"). It was intended to be used a script-friendly way, and I believe there are shell scripts using in this fashion. So please don't change blkid -o value.
