Yes. Introduced in https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/pull/135 But I would like to see UUID support also on other places (e.g. Grub2) so it would be possible to use it really as UUID of FS.

Lets first define allowed characters in UUID and then what we do with UDF's UUID. Printable means only printable ASCII? Or also printable from Unicode? Or only alphanumeric? Printable ASCII characters are: 0x20 - 0x7E (included). Which means that also space is is printable. So what could make sense: * ASCII uppercase (or lowercase) hexdigits * ASCII hexdigits * ASCII alphanumeric * ASCII alphanumeric and underline * ASCII printable without space * ASCII printable (including space) * UNICODE Basic Latin without space + Latin-1 Supplement without space * UNICODE Latin script without controls and spaces * UNICODE Latin script without controls (including spaces) > > I suggest to include all UDF changes in one release, so "breakage" would > > be just between two versions.
