As discussed on IRC this patch has problems on FreeBSD.
Among them
1) stat and readlink are different. Does anyone have an idea how to
make scripts always use right syntax?
2) "FreeBSD, kFreeBSD ..." isn't what FreeBSD user expects.
3) Version isn't detected correctly.
4) Doesn't use UUID
5) device.hints are forgotten
6) Doesn't support ZFS
Attached patch fixes 1 (breaking linux), 2,4 and 5
1,3 and 6 remain
