Duplicate UUID for 2 seperate e-sata harddrives

hi,
my mainboard has 2 e-sata ports, connected to them are two identical harddisks (i used them in a raid for some time).
without any entry to /etc/fstab hal finds and mounts both of them properly. (it just mounts one to /media/musik and the other to /media/musik_)
still i would like to configure some mount-options and add them to the fstab, but ...
"blkid" shows me this:
/dev/sda1: UUID="B82CD4282CD3E004" LABEL="musik" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="B82CD4282CD3E004" LABEL="musik" TYPE="ntfs"

and "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid" only shows /dev/sda1

is there a way i can assign another UUID to sdc1?

Re: Duplicate UUID for 2 seperate e-sata harddrives

Looks like it's not (yet) possible from linux.
ntfsprogs generate a new uuid when a ntfs partition is created but it cannot be modified.
