findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID
findfs NAME=value
findfs will search the block devices in the system looking for a
filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported
tags are:
LABEL=<label>
Specifies filesystem label.
UUID=<uuid>
Specifies filesystem UUID.
PARTUUID=<uuid>
Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is
supported for example for GUID Partition Table (GPT)
partition tables.
PARTLABEL=<label>
Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are
supported for example for GUID Partition Table (GPT) or MAC
partition tables.
If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be
printed on stdout.
The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get
for example by
lsblk --fs
partx --show <disk>
blkid
0 success
1 label or uuid cannot be found
2 usage error, wrong number of arguments or unknown
option
findfs was originally written by Theodore Ts'o ⟨tytso@mit.edu⟩ and
re-written for the util-linux package by Karel Zak ⟨kzak@redhat.com⟩.
LIBBLKID_DEBUG=all
enables libblkid debug output.
