Why wouldn't it work?

My proposal is:

my sub get_node_name {
    my ($type, $drive_id, $volid, $snap) = @_;

    my $info = "drive=$drive_id,";
    $info .= "snap=$snap," if defined($snap);
    $info .= "volid=$volid";

    my $encoded = substr(Digest::SHA::sha256_hex($info), 0, 30);

    my $prefix = "";
    if ($type eq 'fmt') {
       $prefix = 'f';
    } elsif ($type eq 'file') {
       $prefix = 'e';
    } else {
       die "unknown node type '$type'";
    }
    # node-name must start with an alphabetical character
    return "${prefix}${encoded}";
}
