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.
Can a label be created after?? Inquiring minds want to know. :) Ric -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity. Only the former may be overcome." R.I.P. Dad. http://linuxcounter.net/user/44256.html
