I'd want *proof* (i.e., booting into different distros) that different mkswap invocations generate different UUIDs.I have no idea what proof I can provide except to say that I have been caught by that. I installed a second distribution and I could either not prevent it from running mkswap or forgot to prevent it from doing so and I had, when I rebooted into the first distribution, an error message about swap. And it turned out that the swap UUID had been modified.
