[Solved] UUID?

[jbh911]

How can I determine the UUid for a disk and / or partition?

[sdibaja]

Code: Select all

sudo blkid

[WharfRat]

sudo blkid will list UUIDs

Thanks sdibaja & WhalfRat, much appreciated. Couldn't see the wood for the trees

For future reference:

Code: Select all

lsblk -f

Easier to read and saves you the sudo.

If you prefer GUI, then Mint menu > Disks also shows the UUID for any partition you click on.

Code: Select all

lsblk -J

Just to confuse things

Considering the question was about UUID and default lsblk output, JSON or not, doesn't show that, you confused me indeed.

NICE! thanks, I will start using

Code: Select all

lsblk -f

=== however

Code: Select all

lsblk -J

what is that used for?

It gives you JSON formatted output for further processing in another program but I don't know why he brought it up.
