Custom or 'Vanity' UUID's for Partition(LUKS)

Hullo all.

I currently have my BunsenLabs install running on a USB(makes it easier to back it up to a BIN file when experimenting).  I was interested in finding out if it's actually possible to change the UUID of my encrypted partition.  It's just a vanity thing which I think would be cool.  Eg would it be possible to have a UUID of: 12345678-FFFF-EEEE-DDDD-008765432100 specified exactly as that.

I've tried uuidgen -r 12345678-FFFF-EEEE-DDDD-008765432100 as advised by ChatGPT xD, with not much luck.

Also, besides the /etc/default/grub file what other changes would need to be made to reflect the updated UUID

My partition is LUKS encrypted also.

Re: Custom or 'Vanity' UUID's for Partition(LUKS)

As far as I know, a change of the UUID is indicated in the fstab.

In the /etc/default/grub is, if at all, the UUID of the swap and, the initramfs would also have to be updated...
