Subject: generator: Rewrite UUIDs that begin with zero byte.
X-Git-Tag: 1.11.11~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ee190628bc05f0c8fad1f6d9c3e85619a91e8b8;p=libguestfs.git

generator: Rewrite UUIDs that begin with zero byte.

In util-linux <= 2.19, mkswap -U cannot handle the first byte of the
UUID being zero, so we artificially rewrite such UUIDs.

See: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/4273
