Yes I use it on linux, but was hoping to avoid the clusterF that is dealing with XCode and Macports, just to have a 400K command line app. I'm mystified why this capability isn't built into diskutil. If I use the command form: diskutil info [GUID] where instead of [GUID] I paste the unique partition GUID for any of the partitions on any disk, diskutil reports info on the proper partition. So it's perfectly aware of these GUIDs. It just doesn't have a way to report them apparently? If I paste in either the diskutil info reported "Volume UUID" for an hfs+ volume, or the GUID from the GPT for that same partition, diskutil info reports exactly the same information. It's as if the same partition has two UUIDs. And I'm also finding that it's reporting every slice on the disk as being Not Bootable. Hmmm...right.
