NAME

6       findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID
7

SYNOPSIS

9       findfs NAME=value
10

DESCRIPTION

12       findfs  will  search  the  block  devices  in  the system looking for a
13       filesystem or partition with specified  tag.  The  currently  supported
14       tags are:
15
16       LABEL=<label>
17              Specifies filesystem label.
18
19       UUID=<uuid>
20              Specifies filesystem UUID.
21
22       PARTUUID=<uuid>
23              Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported
24              for example for GUID  Partition  Table (GPT) partition tables.
25
26       PARTLABEL=<label>
27              Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are  sup‐
28              ported  for example for GUID Partition Table (GPT) or MAC parti‐
29              tion tables.
30
31       If the filesystem or partition  is  found,  the  device  name  will  be
32       printed on stdout.
33
34       The  complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for
35       example by
36
37              lsblk --fs
