I'm having a job parsing this sentence, but are you referring here to
the partitions' UUIDs? These are chosen at random when partitions are
created and it helps to make a note of them as they are entirely
unmemorable. (I use LABELs everywhere that's possible for that reason.)
You can see these UUIDs in ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and in the contents
of /run/udev/data/b8:... Also see man tune2fs.
Cheers,
David.
