All devices that the USB image is copied to have the same GUID, which can cause problems if multiple Tails devices are plugged in at the same time. The plan is to prevent this by setting a random disk GUID during the first boot of the device.

segfault: if this is ready for QA, do you want to assign this to a potential reviewer?

I’d rather hold on until the USB image project is started, or at least until we know who’ll be segfault’s reviewer on this project…
