Can you please enhance it with a check that the UUID is not duplicate
among other filesystems? It should be available throgh libblkid:

	blkid_probe_lookup_value(probe, "UUID", &uuid, NULL);

This is a sort of paranoia check with the generated UUID, but I think
that an accidentally repeated command or copy&paste with an existing
uuid can happen.

thanks,
david
