Device UUID on Linux

Computer, Fedora, Hardware, Information, Linux, Ubuntu 1 Minute

In /etc/fstab, any file system entry has a long hex digit number. That is the UUID of the device.

To get the UUID, you can type following command in a terminal window:
sudo blkid <enter>

Use the value returned to add to your entry in /etc/fstab for the device you want to add.
