Hi folks ...

I'm writing an extention for blkid, for printing the associated fs-type 
of the partition.
i.e.
/dev/hda1: UUID="0f44f707-2863-4e5f-1314-824a99fc7783" TYPE="mdraid"
/dev/hdb2: LABEL="GLIBC" UUID="631d4d91-10d5-4118-bd1c-23b363b656e5"
TYPE="ext3"

So I'm doing this, something caught my eye, in

util-linux/volume_id/get_devname.c

there is an uuid / volume id cache, but no cache file like in original
blkid.
So this the cache will refilled every invocation of bb with mount, blkid
and other tools using uuid or volume id.
This means the cache is useless.

TODO LIST:
sync fs-type names, to the ones in blkid
using cmdline parameter device-name, i.e.

blkid /dev/hda1

And then figure out, send patches via git !!!
