One should never use UUIDs in fstab to refer to non-unique filesystems (which is pretty much a normal thing with LVM, as the use of snapshotting is common). Any management tools that screw this up need a reality check (and post-haste bug fix). Doing otherwise is courting a data loss scenario. We've seen it happen a large number of times over the years because of the md 0.90 layout, until userspace tools started to add defensive layers to make it less likely to happen. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
