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

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

Aren't UUIDs supposed to be unique?  Roger

The UUID reported might be the one of the file system.

Actually and as usual, the documentation clarifies the situation:

       -f, --fs
              Output  info  about filesystems.  This option is equiva‐
              lent to  -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID,FSAVAIL,FSUSE%,MOUNT‐
              POINT.   The authoritative information about filesystems
              and raids is provided by the blkid(8) command.
(my manual pager, Debian 11)

The UUID is the one of the file system. The file system is shown as existing on both partitions, thus both partitions show the same UUID.

Among all other file systems, you should indeed not find that same UUID again.
