Title:
  blkid: HFS+ label can't be found when block offsets exceed UINT32_MAX

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  libblkid isn't careful about avoiding integer overflows. If parts of
  the HFS catalog file have block offsets of more than UINT32_MAX, blkid
  will report no label, when a label does in fact exist. If such
  partitions are listed in fstab by LABEL, they will mysteriously not
  mount.

  This has been fixed upstream: http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-
  linux/util-
  linux.git;a=commit;h=7e256156f4a8650f0e5c5aaea9cf93d9bf3e1294 .
  Upgrading to util-linux 2.19 or higher would fix this bug.
