The /etc/blkid/blkid.tab file is the libblkid persistent device cache.
It's used by the blkid command and other users of the library (e.g.
e2fsprogs). It's always validated prior to use and is indexed by UUID,
label etc, so there's no need to worry about updating it when device
nodes change.

Kind regards,
Bryn.
