Proposal: expose vol_id utility

Proposal: expose vol_id utility

[Hai Zaar]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 229 bytes --]

Once upon a time vol_id was installed in /sbin. Now it goes to
/lib/udev/, but I'm already using it my various scripts. So I suggest
exposing it to /sbin again in the same manner as you do with scsi_id.
Attached patch.

Exposes vol_id utility (to make it available in standard path).

If you are using only in scripts and not from the command line then
there is no need to have it in the $PATH.

You can also use the udev database, which stores the output of all the
other id-programs too:
  $ udevinfo --query=env --name=sda6
  ID_VENDOR=ATA
  ID_MODEL=ST910021AS
  ID_REVISION=4.06
  ID_SERIAL=SATA_ST910021AS_3MH0Y3KF
  ID_SERIAL_SHORT=3MH0Y3KF
  ID_TYPE=disk
  ID_BUS=scsi
  ID_ATA_COMPAT=ST910021AS_3MH0Y3KF
  ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0
