I name all my SD/pen drives/HD partitions. eg.
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\shop1>vol
 Volume in drive C is C-clamp
 Volume Serial Number is F857-3467

P:\>vol
 Volume in drive P is BOOKS1
 Volume Serial Number is 8483-EA81
P: is my device SD card

I think all FAT volumes have a serial ID
I can't find a cross-platform way to get this information. The device UUID will stand-in for it.

Correct.
I was suggesting one way to ID the (device) storage (with a damaged ID file) was a fast compare with the snapshots in the archived 'on device libraries'. Not perfect. If it reached a threshold of 'hits', the user could be queried: 'Is this Charlies PRS-300?'
What is the "archived on device libraries"? It can't be the list in the ID file you proposed, because if the file is damaged then the list isn't there. There isn't any such thing in the library.
