That doesn't make any sense to me.  First, "path" is relevant to how the
system finds an executable, not a device, and second, /lib/udev doesn't
contain any block devices that I can see.

Ah.  I think you must have meant:

/lib/udev/vol_id /dev/sda4

but /lib/udev/vol_id is just a link to /sbin/vol_id - which _should_ be in
your path - and it _still_ needs to be run as sudo.
