.Support for specifying a UUID when creating a GFS2 file system
The `mkfs.gfs2` command now supports the new `-U` option, which makes it possible to specify the file system UUID for the file system you create. If you omit this option, the file system’s UUID is generated randomly.

Testing notes: The test suite that runs at package build time contains some basic validation tests: https://pagure.io/gfs2-utils/blob/RHEL8/f/tests/mkfs.at#_178-182 Beyond that, some additional tests could be: uuid=$(uuidgen) mkfs.gfs2 -U $uuid ... $device mount $device $mountpoint grep -Hi $uuid /sys/fs/gfs2/$(basename $(readlink -f $device))`/uuid umount $device tunegfs2 -l $device | grep $uuid Verified with some manual testing with gfs2-utils-3.2.0-13.el8.x86_64 |
