The /etc/fstab that is installed by the Debian installer in Squeeze contains the following comment lines:
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). What is 'vol_id' ? The context suggests that it is an executable program that is run from the command line, but there is no such object in the search PATH. And man 5 fstab brings up a man page that does not contain the sting, vol_id. How do I use the information that this comment seems to attempt to convey? Is the string, vol_id --uuid, intended as the argument to some other program? What is the name of that other program?
