Hi,

Recent udev packges in squeeze/sid lack vol_id command since 22 Aug 2009
(146-1). What is the best way to obtain UUID of partition?

I could read it like ...

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid|grep sda4

Is this the best way? Any thoughts ?

Osamu

man -k uuid

will *not* find the blkid man page )-:.

Also, how does one set the UUID of a currently in use swap partition
(such as one created before the mkswap command added a UUID by default)
*without* re-running mkswap?

*You* should not need to set the UUID. It should just magically be
there.

$ /sbin/blkid -t TYPE=swap
/dev/sdb1: TYPE="swap" LABEL="swap1" \
UUID="c69f59ff-b928-4232-b44c-8da0f12c52db"


Or did my (regularly updated Sid) system "get what it needed" before
Aug-2009?

You can cnahe the UUID of any ext partition with
tune2fs -U <uuid> /dev/...
but you then have to edit the fstab(s) that mount that partition with
a UUID and the menu.lst/grub.cfg that refers to that partition with a
UUID.
