Public bug reported: I've come across the problem that lsblk treats the WWN as SN.
~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 ~# apt-cache policy util-linux util-linux: Installed: 2.34-0.1ubuntu9.1 Candidate: 2.34-0.1ubuntu9.1 Version table: *** 2.34-0.1ubuntu9.1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.34-0.1ubuntu9 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages What I expected to happen: Show the disks serial when using the SERIAL output What happened instead: The WWN is printed instead. This does not happen with every disk. how to reproduce: ~# lsblk -dn -o WWN /dev/sdb 0x5000039ad8d2cd39 ~# lsblk -dn -o SERIAL /dev/sdb 5000039ad8d2cd39 smartctl show the correct serial ~# smartctl -a /dev/sdb smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.4.0-89-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Toshiba MG06ACA...
