Which UUID changed? The filesystem UUID shouldn't change unless you
reformat the partition, and the partition UUID shouldn't change unless
you repartition it (or you specifically change the UUID).
I've been using UUIDs for *ages*, and I've never seen one change unless
I've specifically done something which would change it.
