No, you are right, we do have UUID, but we added it just in case we need it in the future, e.g., for NFS support, but we do not use it currently because we did not need it. And we did not look at mounting by UUID - it should be possible to do. I'm a bit overloaded at the moment, but if I have time later, I can look at it. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
