  37         <para><command>vol_id</command> is usually called from a udev rule, to
  38         provide udev with the filesystem type, the label and the uuid of a
  39         volume. <command>vol_id</command> supports all common filesystem formats
  40         and detects various raid setups to prevent the recognition of raid members
  41         as a volume with a filesystem.</para>
