The unknown number is my fault - I had to re-format my partition before I
deleted and re-added the database. The setup changed, there is no VM anymore,
but a normal '/' and an encrypted '/home/' partition. The new number is (!)
listed in lshal and solid-hardware correctly:
$ lshal|grep 10468d744f50
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_41e057b3_f84b_4f17_bf17_10468d744f50'
  info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_41e057b3_f84b_4f17_bf17_10468d744f50'
 (string)
  volume.uuid = '41e057b3-f84b-4f17-bf17-10468d744f50'  (string)
$ solid-hardware list|grep 10468d744f50
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_41e057b3_f84b_4f17_bf17_10468d744f50'

This corresponds to my main hard disk partition, /dev/sda1, which corresponds
to my root partition.

I'm sorry that I forogt to add this, I totally forgot about the re-format.

But the good news is: I re-created the old database, changed the value to the
new uuid (which is not the one the database is actually on, but it is at least
one of the system) and it works now.

However, I wonder why you need the uuid at all for such an album: what will
happen when I buy a new machine and restore the backup, will my database still
work?
