This should be further qualified.
# blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3db012b3" PTTYPE="dos"
# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3db012b3" PTTYPE="dos"
and so I think that 'blkid' entry I referred previously to (with that
PTTYPE="dos" in /dev/sda3 row, believed to be erroneously displayed there),
should have the "/dev/sda: ..." line displayed at the top:
# blkid
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3db012b3" PTTYPE="dos"
/dev/sda1: UUID="fb838405-607c-4723-9355-47ccbf1eb273" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="3db012b3-01"
...
because BLKID(8) says:
" When device is specified, tokens from only this device are
displayed.
It is possible to specify multiple device arguments on the
command line. If none is given, all devices which appear in
/proc/partitions are shown, if they are recognized."
$ cat /proc/partitions
