Hi,
Is it possible to add support for PARTUUID to device name
conversion in blkid similar to FS UUID. The PARTUUID mentioned here is
the ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID output of 'blkid -p -i -o udev /dev/sda1' (for
example). What I want is the support for PARTUUID in 'blkid -U
<PARTUUID>' (not exactly -U , a similar command). Is it possible to
implement? Sorry I am not a programmer. This request is mainly to
support https://github.com/falconindy/geninit/commit/72272da8a855d9551c04de9ba502f3befb2a91d5
. Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Keshav

This is on my TODO list for long time :-) Maybe Iill have time to
implement it for 2.21 (the end of this year).
It would be nice to support the UUIDs in mount and fsck. Then we can
use it in projects like dracut or in /etc/fstab, etc.
