How to reliably mount UDF partition with /etc/fstab

My HDD



Disk /dev/sdb: 927.5 GiB, 995875618816 bytes, 1945069568 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xc4094bc2

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type

I have formatted /dev/sdb5 as udf with



mkfs.udf --utf8 -l UDFStore /dev/sdb5


on Gentoo. But blkid doesn't list /dev/sdb5. How can I reliably mount my UDF partition at startup in /etc/fstab when device enumeration changes due to additional connected USB devices at startup.

Aside from device names, you can mount filesystems using their UUID or label.



For example, if when you created the filesystem you labeled it UDFStore, you can add an /etc/fstab entry like this: LABEL=UDFStore /data udf defaults 0 0

  • Plug in the device, then, run find /dev/disk. You'll see paths corresponding to your disks and partitions. Look through the directories by-label, by-partlabel, and by-id. Those are reliable paths, one of which may correspond to the UDF partition. To use filesystem or partition ID's, you can run lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,PARTUUID and match those ID's with the appropriate path from the find command above, by looking for device files in the by-uid and by-uuid directories. Then in /etc/fstab` substitute /dev/sdb5 with the reliable path of your choice.

But blkid doesn't list /dev/sdb5.




That is probably because of blkid cache. Use -p to bypass cache and specify also block device. E.g.



$ blkid -p /dev/sdb5


It should print something like this:



VOLUME_ID="UDFStore" UUID="5c587177a6c9eba4" VOLUME_SET_ID="5c587177a6c9eba4LinuxUDF" LABEL="UDFStore" LOGICAL_VOLUME_ID="UDFStore" VERSION="2.01" TYPE="udf" USAGE="filesystem"


Then you can use printed UUID to specify your entry in /etc/fstab.

    But blkid doesn't list /dev/sdb5.




    That is probably because of blkid cache. Use -p to bypass cache and specify also block device. E.g.



    $ blkid -p /dev/sdb5


    It should print something like this:



    VOLUME_ID="UDFStore" UUID="5c587177a6c9eba4" VOLUME_SET_ID="5c587177a6c9eba4LinuxUDF" LABEL="UDFStore" LOGICAL_VOLUME_ID="UDFStore" VERSION="2.01" TYPE="udf" USAGE="filesystem"


    Then you can use printed UUID to specify your entry in /etc/fstab.
