Package: util-linux
Version: 2.17.2-9
Severity: normal

1. For interoperability reason, I created a UDF parititon on *hard disk* with 
mkudffs, like this:

       dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 bs=512
       mkudffs -b 512 --media-type=hd --vid=thisismylabel /dev/sda3

2. To make sure the label was written, I did

       dd if=/dev/sda3 bs=1M count=10 | strings | grep thisismylabel

   which returned success (I limited the search to be at most 10MB to save 
time).

3. But then the command

       blkid /dev/sda3

   *only* reported the filesystem type.

       /dev/sda3: TYPE="udf"

   which was wrong because I expected it to report the LABEL. The correct 
output should be

       /dev/sda3: LABEL="thisismylabel" TYPE="udf"

4. Using a block size of 1024 for mkudffs (-b 1024) yielded the same wrong 
result.
5. However using a block size of 2048 yielded the *correct* result. blkid *did* 
return the label.
