Package: mount
Version: 2.12p-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I think the manpage of mount should mention the blkid utility from the
libblkid1 package. It is not obvious to look for exactly this name and even
Google needs very specific keywords to find a hint about this utility.

The manpage should also mention how to use UUIDs to specify the filesystem by
the UUID _instead_ of a device name (UUID=xyz). Mentioning -U option is not
enough, one has to read fstab(5) to learn the other syntax.

Regards,
Eduard.
