We use this script not only for installing archlinux we install ubuntu debian centos hosts with arch style installation, so we run this script inside custom livecd with rocky linux 8 not in chroot. |

However, using `mount --make-private` instead of a tmpfs for `/run` as
suggested in https://github.com/archlinux/arch-install-scripts/issues/24
might be a better fix for this problem.
Could you please test that with `/run/udev` present in chroot, `lsblk` can
get the uuids as well?

I will try to get this bug again. It happen not on all hardware. |
lsblk uses libudev to get device information, but udev isn't always present in the environment where genfstab is run. On the contrary, blkid uses libblkid and gets those informations direct, which shall be preferred. Fixes #24 Closes archlinux#26
udev doesn't work in the chroot which prevents some tools like lsblk to retrieve the UUID of devices. This can be a bit problematic so instead of having /run mounted as a tmpfs, do a bind-mound from the rootfs and include `--make-private`. This is similar to the previous implemention. Fixes https://github.com/archlinux/arch-install-scripts/issues/24 Fixes #26

Hello, using this script, we periodically encountered the problem that "uuid" was not defined on some sections. In the process of studying the problem, it became clear that partition have uuid, but lsblk cannot determine it and gives an empty string. At the same time, BLKID handles uuid detection, I suggest adding BLKID as a fallback way to get uuid to minimize situations when uuid is present but cannot be detected.
