Thanks Arto for reporting this concern. Since there are situations in which a person wishes an exact duplicate of the partition, I do not think it is wrong to leave the UUID the same.
Perhaps it would help if GParted displayed a message for copy operations that indicated to the user that if they wish to use the partition on the same computer at the same time as the original partition then they should change both the UUID and volume label. A note to this effect is contained in the GParted documentation, but not directly in the application. http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual&lang=C#gparted-copy-and-paste-partition It would also be useful if GParted provided the ability to change the UUID on the partition too. Currently it does permit changing the volume label. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737387 Title: Gparted: "Copy" creates duplicate UUID to another disk -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
