"$ lsblk -f" output is very nice !   Thanks.

I tried this and noticed UUID duplication in the output.  Here is part of what I saw:

NAME    FSTYPE            FSVER LABEL UUID                                 FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT
...
sdg
... ├─sdg6  linux_raid_member 1.0   10.218.0.100:3 f5e37a29-357a-e3f2-c731-e29eddce5e91 │ └─md3 ext4 1.0                  39c24711-ab43-497c-bf3e-12b4032575ac  758.4G     7% /mnt/home

sdh
... ├─sdh6  linux_raid_member 1.0   10.218.0.100:3 f5e37a29-357a-e3f2-c731-e29eddce5e91 │ └─md3 ext4 1.0                  39c24711-ab43-497c-bf3e-12b4032575ac  758.4G     7% /mnt/home

UUID sdg6 = UUID sdh6 !  If I wanted to retire /dev/sdg6 from the Raid array, I would not be able to use the UUID, only the unique SDxn.

Aren't UUIDs supposed to be unique?  Roger

The UUID reported might be the one of the file system. As the lsblk output is truncated I can not really guess the context of those lines; in all cases I checked here, non-unique UUIDs show up on components that are reported several times (i.e., file systems backed by several backed by several partitions that are members of one RAID array). If you want to have a list of all things with their UUIDs in a less ambigous view, try blkid.

Cheers,

Arno
