      <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
        <para><command>vol_id</command> is usually called from a udev rule, to
        provide udev with the filesystem type, the label and the uuid of a
        volume. It supports most of the common filesystem formats and detects
        various raid setups to prevent the recognition of raid members
        as a volume with a filesystem.</para>
