pjones is working on a patch to the kernel (device-mapper) to allow setting of uuid for already-existing maps, as long as they have no uuid at that time. 

Patches will also be required for libdevmapper to provide a function along the lines of the existing function dm_task_set_newname, but for uuid instead of name. I have drafted a patch to pyblock that will make use of all of the above to ensure correct uuids are set for dmraid and mpath devices created by pyblock.

At the 2010-10-08 blocker meeting we agreed to reassign this bug to pyblock and create new bugs against kernel and libdevmapper which block this bug. Jlaska will be doing this.
