While working on a problem {solved by a different approach} I had:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' data.txt
I would then manually edit data.txt by replacing the space character
between the two fields with a tab.
I suspect I should be able to do:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' | *something* >

Ideal would be a more focussed way of reading out the disk info,
perhaps something with blkid or lsblk?
I don't follow. blkid(8) and lsblk(8) would be ideal for what purpose?
Using what metric?
I meant that there might be a utility that would output the disk info
directly, avoiding the need to do any post-processing with cut, sed, awk
and friends, and suggested blkid and lsblk as possible candidates.
Just a suggestion I threw out for those with the time and motivation to
plough though the man pages.
