Package: util-linux Version: 2.16.2-0 Severity: normal
At present man -k blkid returns: blkid (8) - command-line utility to locate/print block device attr This isn't helpful when one tries to find the command to return the UUID of a given device (e.g. to get mount to use UUID's instead of device names). Something like: - locate/print UUID and other block device attributes would be better. "command-line utility to" doesn't convey much information.
