UUID inside VE

[mwojciechowski]

Hi,

OpenVZ VE root block device is /dev/simfs. Unfortunately I need to provide UUID of it for licencing purposes.

UUID is "connected" with udev which is not used inside OpenVZ VEs so this may be a problem. There is no /etc/blkid.tab, I tried to create one manualy just for test if blkid will read from it but it doesn't.

Is there any solution for this?

Thanx,
Martin.

I found no solution for that. But to be sure, please can you ask on the OpenVZ forum too?

As workaround, you can use a KVM VM.
