Bug Description
The default /etc/fstab file says you can use vol_id --uuid to find out the UUID values for your disks in the comments, yet in Karmic, vol_id has been replace by blkid, so this information is incorrect and confusing.
I suppose it is not a bug, but it could result in user error/confusion.

Thank you for taking your time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Did you upgrade your system from 9.04? Here on my clean 9.10 install fstabe properly mentions blkid.
