The fact that you have to compile your own tools rather than just use
what the distro provides is always a bit of a bore.
Also, if you change the server to stop using UUIDs, then any clients
which have the filesystem mounted will need to remount as the old
mount will become stale.
So it isn't a major problem, but nor is it an ideal solution.
