[arch-general] Re-install of Arch on a larger drive

[Joan Aymà]

You can makefs with an arbitrary uuid, or, as been said, switch to labels:
>From `man mkfs.ext4`:
*-L** new-volume-label*Set the volume label for the filesystem to
*new-volume-label*. The maximum length of the volume label is 16 bytes.
*-U** UUID*Create the filesystem with the specified UUID

Regards.
