I have found this incantation, and variants, e.g. filtering with grep, useful
also:
$ stat -c %N /dev/disk/by-*/*
I have also encountered, IIRC, system versions where /disk/dev/by-* could
present info
from stale cache information, so it might not show what e.g. the following
might:
$ lsblk
$ lsblk -f
For your purposes, it might be worth trying asking for interesting
specifics (see lsblk -h for more), e.g.
$ lsblk -o mountpoint,name,size,fstype,label,partlabel,partuuid,uuid
Maybe that partuuid '31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833' might show up?
BTW, I think some older systems might not know how to look for partuuid,
(especially beyond the intial boot device?) and it could be worth trying
plain uuid instead. I suspected such a stiutation when I got
a not-found in the past, but did not diagnose it unambigously.
--8<--aside
BTW2, I am using refind to multiboot, and consider my shooting myself in the
foot
(clobbering my efi partition with unintended grub install) as a kind of
usability-bug,
which I am tempted to use as rationale for posting to this list (but not
hijacking
this post further ;-) Would that be ok, or should I join guix-help as well? I
am getting
more email traffic than I am used to :) ...
(I would like to mount a losetup file partition as a target for grub bootloader
install,
and thereby capture initrds etc for manual (at first ;-) transfer into my
refind efi vfat
file tree.)
