How to find the attached devices UUID through terminal?
Try this, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, list devices by entering:
ll /dev/disk/by-uuid
the best way I found for this is:
sudo blkid
for example the output of a specific USB in my Ubuntu is:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="16GB" UUID="25495C984912BBC3" TYPE="ntfs"
You can look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/
. These files are symlinks to the /dev/...
device. For example, my dmraid RAID0 disk (which makes up my root partition is /dev/dm-1
so the following gets its UUID:
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov 21 21:07 1b66bb9e-5b02-49f1-8cf9-bc3f649d70a6 -> ../../dm-1
