Now that we have a way for getting the UUID from a target, provide it to userspace as well. Unfortunately there is already a sysfs attribute called UUID which is a misnomer as it holds the NGUID value. So instead of creating yet another wrong name, create a new 'nguid' sysfs attribute for the NGUID. For the UUID attribute add a check wheter the namespace has a UUID assigned to it and return this or return the NGUID to maintain backwards compatibility. This should give userspace a chance to catch up.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
