findfs − Find a filesystem by label or UUID
findfs LABEL=label
findfs UUID=uuid
findfs will search the disks in the system looking for a filesystem which has a label matching label or a UUID equal to uuid. If the filesystem is found, the device name for the filesystem will be printed on stdout.
findfs was originally written by Theodore Ts’o (tytso@mit.edu) and re-written for util-linux-ng package by Karel Zak (kzak@redhat.com).
The findfs command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
