Hi,
Ahhh, when I look at this, it's not what I want! The number I require
is the one shown in "Disk Utility" if you click on the Disk. It says,
USB Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (a hex number) in the bottom
left corner
Any ideas?
All the Best
Dave

Here's what works for me sometimes (I think it depends on the type
of disk):
diskutil list | grep <name_of_disk>
the result will contain something like 'disk1s2'. Then
diskutil info disk1s2 | grep 'Volume UUID:'
diskutil is dog-slow.
