Be careful if you ever do a raw copy of a partition's data to another
(e.g., to move a file system from one partition to another). Since
file system UUIDs and labels are both written in the partition, right
after the copy you'll have two partitions/file systems with the same
UUID or label. Be sure to delete or zero out enough of the old
partition before trying to re-mount the file system.
