Comment 1 Karel Zak 2011-02-23 10:59:13 UTC 
The scsi_id(8) is able to read WWID. I'm not sure that we want to duplicate this functionality in libblkid.

IMHO the ideal solution would be to have WWID in /sys/block/<name>/device/ where we already have the vendor and model attributes.
Comment 2 Karel Zak 2012-10-24 10:06:06 UTC 
The command lsblk(8) reads WWN from udev database. For example try

  lsblk -o +WWN

on Fedora 18. Closing.
