No, unfortunately not.  There's also a similar problem in the FAT support in the same module.

I think Linux doesn't actually mean real DCE uuids when they say "uuid", so I don't think pretending that they are real uuids is going to be useful (because at some point control passes to /dev/disk/by-uuid, parted or grub - which interpret uuids like they want - which isn't necessarily as real uuids).

So I think the best course of action is to drop the real DCE uuids entirely and make uuids be free-form strings - like these other programs already decided...

What do you think?
