Sorry, Skeeve, but why would you assume that someone on an Applescript list would find this information using "man -k disk, " even if they knew how to do that?

Running that command results in (clipped)

	diskutil(8) - Modify, verify and repair local disks

There's nothing there that indicates that diskutil would have a command to get the information the OP was looking for.

We Applescripters don't mind resorting to the shell from time to time. But I don't think it's fair to assume that we have the vast UNIX knowledge that some seem to assume.

Thanks for the info.

David

Is there any way in AppleScript, perhaps using 'do shell script', to read the UUID of a disk? I have searched and found nothing.
You didn't use man -k disk, did you?
diskutil info /mount/point | grep UUID
