vol_id - partition, filesystem, disklabel reader
This program is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
name, uuid or the filesystem type of a partition to name a device node.
vol_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline.
The following commandline switches are supported to specify what vol_id
should print:
--export prints all values
-h prints help text
-l prints the label of the partition
-u prints the uuid of the partition
vol_id will only return successful if the string asked for, is not
empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by underscore
and slashes ignored.

The following rule will create a symlink named with the label string:
KERNEL=="[hs]d*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/vol_id -l %N", SYMLINK+="%c"
If no label is found vol_id exits with nonzero and the rule will be
ignored.
To give it a try, you may call it on the commandline:
[root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id /dev/hda3
T:ext3
L:Music Store
N:Music_Store
U:d2da42b5-bbd9-44eb-a72c-cc4542fcb71e
[root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id -l /dev/hda3
Music_Store
[root@pim udev.kay]# extras/volume_id/vol_id -t /dev/hda3
swap
