I'ts not the drive that you need the UUID for -- it's the
filesystem. Most filesystems have space in their superblock for a
UUID and/or label, so you should be fine.
I tend to use the contents of /dev/disk/by-label/ or
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ rather than the LABEL= or UUID= entries (which
always seemed to be a bit of a hack to me).
