6 findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID
7
9 findfs NAME=value
10
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.
