vol_id − probe filesystem type and read label and uuid
vol_id [−−export] [−t] [−l] [−u] [device] |
vol_id is usually called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the filesystem type, the label and the uuid of a volume. vol_id supports all common filesystem formats and detects various raid setups to prevent the recognition of raid members as a volume with a filesystem.
−−export
print all values in key/value format to import them into the environment.
−t
print the filesystem type
−l
print the safe version of volume label suitable for use as filename. Use −L to print literal label
−u
print the uuid of a volume
−L
print raw volume label
UDEV_LOG
Set the syslog priority.
vol_id will only return successful if the value asked for is not empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by underscore and slashes ignored.
