This simple answer is to add to the, yet to be provided, centos-arm-installer a step that relabels the partitions. I don't see this as an option in parted, but I suspect there is SOME tool that will change a partition's UUID. Thing is what to do with /etc/fstab. Edit it with SED? Use /dev/device rather than UUID= ? But the <device> varies by board. I should point out that Fedora-arm has the same issue, and I will can this point over to them. From Fedora-23-Xfce image: /etc/fstab: UUID=5c922e06-bb74-402c-9d65-65feee4516b5 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 UUID=3cc330d2-84bb-46ff-9501-3a1776ed09c5 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0 UUID=01aee4b3-d3bb-4e17-8d30-3005596f2861 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
