Non-GPT partitions do not have a UUID. The _content_ (filesystem, LVM physical volume, non-encrypted swap space, etc.) of such a partition could have a UUID, but the partition itself does not.
ON Centos 5, using GPARTED I created partitions for filing systems ext3 and ext4. 4 primary and unlimited (except by space) extended partitions. That suggests those partitions are not GPT but old fashioned M$DOS
I encrypted some of those partitions.
The 'blkid' command produces a list of UUIDs for those partitions.
A few examples:-
/dev/sda5: LABEL="a5u" UUID="3cbc7570-30b8-4970-a0df-a9a9602770d0" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda2: UUID="e954fbaa-dc51-46dc-a352-cceb439080e5" TYPE="crypt_LUKS" /dev/ram0: UUID="49b98b86-116a-469b-b6de-a157bb0a12dd" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda1: LABEL="d6sys" UUID="cd632820-0701-4a6a-b329-6798b6a29966" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2"
