I see.
Since the version that I am packaging is somewhat old, I think that some
upgrade may be able to fix this *if* the generation of the UUID is
incorporated in Apple's diskdev_cmds package (which I rename to create
hfsprogs for Linux).
Failing that, I will have to study how Apple implements the UUID thing and
provide a wrapper for that.
I do hope that the 1st option actually provides us with a fix without
something flaky.
Thanks as usual for the feedback,
