findfs:tldr:27d55
The command "findfs PARTUUID=${partition_uuid}" is used to find the filesystem associated with a specific partition on a Linux system.
Here is a breakdown of this command:
-
"findfs": This is the command itself. It is used to search for a filesystem given a specific identifier.
-
"PARTUUID=${partition_uuid}": This is an argument passed to the "findfs" command. PARTUUID is a unique identifier assigned to a partition in the Linux system. The "$" symbol is used to denote that this is a variable, and "partition_uuid" is the actual value of the variable, which should be replaced with the desired partition UUID.
The purpose of this command is to determine the filesystem associated with a specific partition on the system. It is often used in script files or command-line operations where the partition UUID is known, and it helps in identifying the filesystem type and location.
