That is, of course, assuming you have a running system, that you haven't
replaced a hard drive, an MDraid's not giving you trouble, etc.

And oh, I put that in another system, and it's also got partition one
labled boot... so? I'm not trying to boot off of it, I'm going to mount it
on /mnt.

No, I dislike UUIDs. I dislike, strongly, lots of extra typing that
doesn't really get me anything. MAYBE, if you're in a Google or Amazon
datacenter, with 500,000 physical servers (I phone interviewed with them
10 years ago)... but short of that? Nope.
