Good to know. This hook used glibc anyway, so there is no adjustment
needed to the new initramfs. Less work for me.

It seems those rules used /lib/initcpio/udev/vol_id because
/lib/udev/vol_id was gone for a while. But now there is no klibc-udev
any more, vol_id has been deprecated for some time.

You need to use blkid to do this now. "blkid -o udev -p ..." will have
an output compatible to vol_id, but the usage is probably a little
different. See /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules for
examples on how blkid is used instead of vol_id, then the udev rules in
the wiki can be easily adjusted to work again.
blkid is in any way superior to vol_id, it has more and better
filesystem support and is updated more frequently. I hope you can
correct the wiki after you've figured out the details, I would guess it
is not very difficult.
