Can you get me small (preferably under 200k) sample filesystem images for the purposes of regression testing? Also, the blkid library is in the process of being transferred to util-linux-ng. So I'm willing to apply the patches, but they also need to be ported to the version of the blkid library in util-linux-ng to make sure this feature doesn't get lost when distributions start transitioning to util-linux-ng.
