ltspfs_entry uses nonexistent blkid variable ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE to generate mountpoint

[gcc]

Binary package hint: ltspfs

If I plug in a USB disk to an LTSP terminal, it always gets a name like "usbdisk-sdb1".

It seems that this part of ltspfs_entry tries to generate a human-readable label in add_device():

  [ -z "${LABEL}" ] && LABEL=${ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE}

However this environment variable is not set by udev/blkid. Example output:

manager@zambiaserver1:~$ sudo blkid -o udev /dev/md0
ID_FS_LABEL=Old_System
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=Old\x20System
ID_FS_UUID=dda64916-4dab-44bc-8b23-376ef99cb133
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=dda64916-4dab-44bc-8b23-376ef99cb133
ID_FS_SEC_TYPE=ext2
ID_FS_TYPE=ext3

It seems that ID_FS_LABEL is now "safe", see util-linux/misc-utils/blkid.c in print_udev_format:

        } else if (!strcmp(name, "UUID") ||
                 !strcmp(name, "LABEL") ||
                 !strcmp(name, "UUID_SUB")) {

                blkid_safe_string(value, safe, sizeof(safe));
                printf("ID_FS_%s=%s\n", name, safe);

                blkid_encode_string(value, enc, sizeof(enc));
                printf("ID_FS_%s_ENC=%s\n", name, enc);

So I think the following patch is appropriate:

manager@zambiaserver1:/opt/ltsp/i386$ diff -u lib/udev/ltspfs_entry{.old,}

     # Check for existing label with same name
