Hello Albert,
Some details must be provided before I can investigate. See below.

Hello Cygwin team,
I am reporting a regression regarding the blkid utility from the util-
linux package.
Problem Description
When running blkid in the latest Cygwin environment, the command
produces absolutely no output and exits quietly. This happens even when
running the terminal as a built-in Administrator account in Windows.
However, running blkid --help works as expected.
Version Comparison
* Broken version: util-linux 2.40.2-2 with cygwin1.dll from 2026-01-09.
* Working version: util-linux (blkid.exe dated 2024-01-24) with
cygwin1.dll dated 2024-02-01.
In the older working environment, blkid successfully prints the list of
partitions, UUIDs, and file systems as expected.
I have attached my cygcheck.out file generated with cygcheck -s -v -r >
cygcheck.out to this email for further diagnostic details.
What argument(s) are you handing to blkid when running it?
What does "echo $?" output after blkid finishes?
Thanks,
..mark
