findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID

Authors

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>.

Availability

       The findfs command is part of the util-linux package which can be downloaded from Linux Kernel Archive
       <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.

util-linux 2.41                                    2025-02-26                                          FINDFS(8)

Description

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. If the input is not
       in the format of NAME=value, then the input will be copied to the output without any modification.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

          lsblk--fspartx--show<disk>blkid-h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Display version and exit.

Environment

       LIBBLKID_DEBUG=all
           enables libblkid debug output.

       1
