tools should use libvolume-id instead of libblkid

For me, tune2fs -l gives the same UUID as blkid, which is different from
vol_id.
# sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
Filesystem volume name:
Last mounted on:
Filesystem UUID: 48d6d975-d71b-45b5-a687-320148b8a1cd
# sudo blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="48d6d975-d71b-45b5-a68
We're attempting to phase out blkid completely, migrating tools to
vol_id and libvolumeid
Which tool still uses it?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to use the same algorithm for both vol_id and
blkid so that you don't get two different UUIDs for the same partition?

You received this bug notification becaus
vol_id's heuristics are considered "better" than blkids, however they're
still heuristics and the wrong answer sometimes occurs if you use some
bare-bones formatting tools which don't take care to wipe the metadata
of previous filesystems off the disk

Yeah, I noticed the label of /dev/sda1 pointed it to being a Dell
partition. I don't think it should make a difference though. It's a bit
strange!

My computer is a Dell Optiplex GX620.
I think it had some kind of special "diagnostic" partition on the HDD
when delivered. Perhaps this is what confuses vol_id, it says it has
label "DellUtility".
I did originally installed Ubuntu 6.06, and I have done several dist-
upgrades to reach 8.04.
