Even though I'm not it's entirely feasible (some binaries inside the filesystem may contain build dates and things like that), I think it's an interesting goal. So my only suggestion here would be to extend a bit your comment, to explain *why* you do not want this UUID. Maybe we could set the volume name to 'buildroot' ? I.e: tune2fs -L buildroot "${IMG}" Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
