I changed the UUID of all the partitions of the second drive and now all
my devices are linked to in /dev/disk/by-uuid. I still have
no/dev/disk/by-label, though. Also, my swap file on a mounted drive
wasn't mounted, which was my original problem ;-(

A couple of years back, I bought these drives to install RAID on them,

culprit) is croaking on two different devices with the same UUID.
udev creates /dev
Where is the UUID determined? I'd presumed that it was derived from
some characteristics of the drive, determined by the device controller,
but now I'm wondering if my initial RAID configuration set some
drive-internal variable to be identical?
And, how does one /*reset*/ it?
tune2fs -U [UUID] /dev/sdX
UUID can be either a string in the standard format or the word random.
Cool! I missed that about the "random" keyword.
