I have more than 40 PCs with well in excess of a dozen installed distros, each on
a partition, readily cloned as element of backup system or seeding a new PC. I've
never imagined any remotely simple way cloning (from outside an involved OS) could
work with LVM employed.

Generate too, big deal. I get cross-eyed looking at them. LOL
8 or 13 characters I can remember, recognize and type within a 40 entry custom.cfg
or 40_custom, among other places, such as
# wc -l /etc/fstab
155 /etc/fstab
#
I'm annoyed constantly in help forums, where scrolling is required, or wrapping
occurs, because of 36 character UUID string pollution functioning as yet another
"personally identifiable information"[1] data element for the data scrapers.
