I believe the UUID is created per partition/file system and are
created when creating the file system for a partition.  If anyone even
had their drive changed from /dev/hda to /dev/sda due to linux
changing how they labeled ide drives they will know why people use
UUID instead of the device name .  Also, it is not guaranteed that
they drives will always come up in the same order between kernel
releases(This is my personal opinion).
