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.

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

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