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
28           supported for example for GUID Partition Table (GPT) or MAC
29           partition 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
