Oh, I hope soon (next weeks), but we can leave the code in the tree, as
long as you need it, it's just if Linux does not use it anymore you may
need to care about porting possible fixes to it. :)

Again, if it helps you, go ahead and commit what you need...

How would that possibly look like for Solaris? On Linux it looks like
this and we will probably just use that output (only needed for a few
cases, cause the event from the kernel, which is tunneled through udev
usually contains exactly that data already)

  $ /sbin/vol_id -x /dev/sda2
  ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
  ID_FS_TYPE=ext3
  ID_FS_VERSION=1.0
  ID_FS_UUID=067972bb-8f72-4946-9e44-a3799ca6d8b3
  ID_FS_LABEL=root
  ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=root

  /sbin/vol_id -x /dev/sda1
  ID_FS_USAGE=other
  ID_FS_TYPE=swap
  ID_FS_VERSION=2
  ID_FS_UUID=
  ID_FS_LABEL=
  ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=

  /sbin/vol_id -x /dev/sda4
  ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
  ID_FS_TYPE=ntfs
  ID_FS_VERSION=3.1
  ID_FS_UUID=C4C407EEC407E212
  ID_FS_LABEL=XP
  ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=XP

Best,
