Thanks for this, I got it working by specifying block.device (twice, =
once for /dev/msdosfs/EFISYS and once for /dev/gptid/<mumble>). Is there =
a way it can key off (say) the volume name or UUID instead?
I tried a few keys like volume.uuid and volume.label but they don't =
work. Perhaps that is because they are only filled in after the =
preprobe, hence the rules don't match until after they could possibly =
take effect.
Thanks.
