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/util-linux,
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.
