Is there a tool that would allow me to rewrite all the metadata blocks with a new UUID?  At this point, it can't possibly take longer than the way I'm trying to do it now...

Someone once said "Resetting the UUID on btrfs isn't a quick-and-easy thing - you have to walk the entire tree and change every object. We've got a bad-hack in meego that uses btrfs-debug-tree and changes the UUID while it runs the entire tree, but it's ugly as hell."

Ok, I'll take the bad-hack.  How would I actually go about using said bad-hack?
