Thanks for this, I got it working by specifying block.device (twice, once for
/dev/msdosfs/EFISYS and once for /dev/gptid/<mumble>). Is there a way it can
key off (say) the volume name or UUID instead?
I tried a few keys like volume.uuid and volume.label but they don't work.
Perhaps that is because they are only filled in after the preprobe, hence the
rules don't match until after they could possibly take effect.
Thanks.
