[arch-general] Generate /etc/blkid.tab
Hi, I need to update the content of this file because I modified my partition table, but I can't see how googling around. Is this file actually used? How is it generated originally when installing its owner package? Thanks in advance. -- Ricardo

According to the man page, this file is only generated if your system doesn't have a /run directory, which would be an odd thing for an Arch system, or if you have a custom config file for blkid. Running 'BLKID_FILE=/etc/blkid.tab blkid -c /dev/null' as root should update it.

According to https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/u..., it is not generated at install time. You may want to have a look at custom packages you have installed that could rely on this file. Tim

What owner package would that be?
Thanks in advance. -- Ricardo

This cache file is generated by blkid, which is part of util-linux. Just run blkid as root.

Apparently this is now not true (did the default behaviour change?). That'll teach me to go off memory... Why do you think you need the blkid cache file, anyway?
