PATCH 1/1 document vol_id -L

Quoted 7 lines · Kay Sievers

vol_id is apparently the only portable (and sometimes simply the only) way to get partition label (and UUID). This patch adds option to print raw label as opposed to safe one.

Applied.

OK here is documentation for it (I still do not understand why file generated at build time are kept in SCM, but well ...)
