[Bug 1329810] [NEW] Btrfs /boot partition has no UUID

[KDEUSER56]

Public bug reported:

Do the following to reproduce the problem: Using the installer create a
/boot partition (primary) using btrfs as file system. When the install
is finished and you boot up the system, the fstab entry for /boot looks
like this:

/dev/sda1 /boot btrfs defaults 0 2

This does not happen if I repeat the exact same procedure using
ext2/ext3/ext4 for the /boot partition, where an entry in the resulting
fstab looks like expected:

UUID=13b5e56a-825c-4633-bd65-64174ecc3c7b /boot ext4 defaults 0 2

I tried to manually solve this issue by running

"sudo blkid /dev/sda1", but nothing is returned and "sudo blkid" does
not list /dev/sda1 anywhere.

There is a reason partitions should be mounted by UUID and not by
/dev/sdXY, because under certain circumstances the partition will not be
found.
