Bug Description

[Impact]

 * udf filesystems with blocksize < 2048 will not automount at startup.
 * udf filesystems with blocksize < 2048 will not show or be mounted by volume label (vid).

[Test Case]

Install udftools and create udf file system with volume id and blocksize < 2048:

"sudo mkudffs -b 512 --vid=space /dev/sdb1"

Run blkid on device: "sudo blkid /dev/sdb1"

Without patch, output will be 'TYPE="udf"'. With patch, output will be 'TYPE="udf" LABEL="space"'.

Add /dev/sdb1 to /etc/fstab. Without patch, file system will fail to mount at boot; with patch, file system will mount at boot.

Add LABEL=space to /etc/fstab. Without patch, file system will fail to mount; with patch, file system will mount.

[Regression Potential]

* This issue has been identified upstream and a patch is available (git commit 5a45eb2d2c70dc7ea2ff4c7b56ab8dba2780f033 in karelzak/util-linux).

Since I provided the fix after testing it, testing it again myself seems rather redundant...

Someone has to test it and you testing it again does verify the patch was applied correctly, the packages built correctly, etc.
