Retrieval of volume UUID in Mac
The issue that I am facing currently is regarding retrieval of Universal Unique Identifier of a volume as displayed in Disk Utility in Mac .This needs to be done through code. It is a string of the format “7A6FEDEF-6037-301F-9005-761DD7B60564”.
It looks like it is not stored in stat structure associated with the particular device file of that volume. For the volumes mounted manually, it can be found as entries in /etc/fstab. But automatically mounted volumes have no entry in that file. (Leopard does not have fstab file by default.) We can find the boot-uuid of the root volume in registry properties of ‘chosen’. But this doesn’t work for other volumes.
