OK. Then I misjudged your reference to DOS-type partition tables.
That shortens our conversation to
Stephen: There is no place to put an UUID.
Andries: Use a Linux-type partition table.
Stephen: It is better to use Linux logical volumes.
That is a reasonable point of view.
(I disagree a bit, mostly because it is the wrong "level"
to put such information. It means that the code that decides
whether a disk has a certain volume label has to understand
all partitioning schemes in existence, and dig in the partition
table to find where LVM lives and then look there to find
a disk label.)
