  • Type: Bug Fix / Enhancement
  • Impact: Normal
  • How was this pull request tested? manually by me - only the no label but uuid path
  • Issue #2548 related to this PR but it is not the same
  • Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
    mkfs.vfat (used for e.g. uefi partition) did not honor the uuid from the layout so "boot original system" was failing (by id/no label) after a recover. It also adds new boot menu entries and changes boot order on HP machines when a efi partition with new id is detected. The change tries to use -i option to set the uuid on creation and falls back to not using it when it fails (like done in the script for ext and others). This fixes the issues.

I thought its more save and readable to do the check in any case. It does not harm to do it. If you insist I will restructure it.
