FileVault startup volume uuid changes

Hi,

I enabled FileVault on macOS10.15.7. Then upgraded OS to latest Big Sur. After upgrade is completed, I observed that the startup volume UUID got changed.

In my scenario, the startup volume is Macintosh HD whose mount point is '/'. Also, it contains Data volume too because it is 10.15.x.

It is a bug or expected behaviour?
I’m pretty sure that it’s expected, caused by the switch to the signed system volume. Why do you care about this?

Share and Enjoy
