After guessing that 'diskutil info ...' is a "do script" command, the following does NOT return the UUID, nor does any convolution thereof:

Could it be that you don't know what a mountpoint is? Of course I don't know what your mount ponits are. One of mine is for example /Volumes/SKEEVE

So I would have to enter (in shell)

diskutil info /Volumes/SKEEVE

this returns the 20 or so lines.

If I append

| grep UUID

I just get the UUID line.

But tbh: I don't think everyone needs all these detailed information. At least not Luther, I guess.


(I appreciate that we are all very busy, but for that same reason there are some of us who would be grateful if direct questions could be given direct answers, not just clues,
It was a direct answer plus a clue. But not everyone was able to use the answer. If you don't know what a mount point is, I can't help. I can't explain every single detail. After all: You can always ask for more information.
