List all partition labels
Is there a command to list all partition labels?
I can list the partitions with
sudo fdisk -l
but it doesn't show the labels of unmounted partitions.
Solution 1:
sudo blkid -o list
lists all devices with labels:
device fs_type label mount point UUID
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1 ntfs WINRE_DRV (not mounted) 604C3A6A4C3A3B5C
/dev/sda2 vfat SYSTEM_DRV (not mounted) 6C3C-72E3
/dev/sda3 vfat LRS_ESP (not mounted) 5240-1BEE
/dev/sda5 ntfs Windows8_OS /media/Win8 A47A42FF7A42CDAC
/dev/sda6 ntfs Daten /media/Daten 72860971860936DF
Solution 2:
Simply labels?
$ ls /dev/disk/by-label/
Download MuruHome Ubuntu Windows8 arch
Or better:
$ tree /dev/disk/by-label/ # or use ls -l
/dev/disk/by-label/
├── Download -> ../../sda6
├── MuruHome -> ../../sdc2
├── Ubuntu -> ../../sdc1
├── Windows8 -> ../../sda2
└── arch -> ../../sda1
If you're willing to use sudo
(which blkid
requires), then you could also use the lsblk
command:
$ sudo lsblk -o NAME,LABEL
NAME LABEL
sda
├─sda1 System Reserved
├─sda2 windows
├─sda3 ubuntu
├─sda4
├─sda5 arch
├─sda6
│ └─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) homelb
└─sda7
sdb
└─sdb1
└─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) homelb
Solution 3:
Use the command
lsblk -nPo MOUNTPOINT,UUID,LABEL
You will get a list of fields that are most useful for your requirement.
