Downloaded the git version of util-linux-ng, compiled (without fallocate
because this fails due to absent fallocate64) and verified that the new
blkid correctly recognizes my root partition:

$ cd util-linux-ng/misc-utils
$ ./blkid /dev/sda1 
/dev/sda1: UUID="f9526843-5dda-4683-9588-41b864812487" TYPE="ext3"

OK, great. What am I supposed to do to correct this issue permanently?
I see that doing "make install" will overwrite a lot of utilities, like
mkfs, mkswap, etc. Is it safe to procceed and install the newly compiled
util-linux-ng?

Thanks,
