NAME
       findfs -	find a filesystem by label or UUID

SYNOPSIS
       findfs NAME=value

DESCRIPTION
       findfs will search the block devices in the system looking for a
       filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported
       tags are:

       LABEL=<label>
	   Specifies filesystem	label.

       UUID=<uuid>
	   Specifies filesystem	UUID.

       PARTUUID=<uuid>
	   Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported
	   for example for GUID	Partition Table	(GPT) partition	tables.

       PARTLABEL=<label>
	   Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are
	   supported for example for GUID Partition Table (GPT)	or MAC
	   partition tables.

       If the filesystem or partition is found,	the device name	will be
       printed on stdout.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for
       example by

	  lsblk	--fs

	  partx	--show <disk>

	  blkid

       -h, --help
	   Display help	text and exit.

       -V, --version
	   Print version and exit.
