I'm not aware of any. However, by the nature of UUID, it's not
something you can set, rather it is calculated. In practicality, the
ways to get the uuid are

1. 'blkid /dev/xxxx'
2. 'ls -al /dev/disk by-uuid. There is are directories
/dev/disk/[by-id  by-label  by-path  by-uuid], and I presume these are
created by udev or its siblings.
