You'd better run something like:
patch -p1 <0001-volume-id.patch

I suggest to first run:
patch -p1 --dry-run <0001-volume-id.patch

This will have no action but willl show you whether the patch applies
cleanly
(beware that if this is an old patch, there are chances it doens't
apply cleanly and need to be applied manually by good old copy/paste methods)
