永続的なブロックデバイスの命名
この記事ではブロックデバイスに永続的な名前を使う法法を説明します。永続的な命名は udev によって可能になったものであり、バスによる命名と比べて複数の利点があります。使用しているマシンに複数の SATA, SCSI, IDE ディスクコントローラが存在する場合、それぞれのデバイスノードが追加される順番は一定しません。そのため、起動するたびに /dev/sda
や /dev/sdb
といったデバイス名は入れ替わる可能性があり、下手をすると、システムが起動できなくなったり、カーネルパニックが発生したり、ブロックデバイスが表示されなくなってしまいます。永続的な命名によってこれらの問題は解決します。

永続的な命名の方法
永続的な命名には4つの異なる形式があります: by-label, by-uuid, by-id と by-path。GUID Partition Table (GPT) のディスクを使用する場合、さらに by-partlabel と by-partuuid の形式も利用可能です。また、Udev による固定デバイス名を使うこともできます。
以下のセクションでは4つの異なる命名規則がどのようなものであるか、またどうやって使うのかを説明しています。
The lsblk -f
command can be used for viewing graphically the first persistent schemes:
$ lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sda ├─sda1 vfat CBB6-24F2 /boot ├─sda2 ext4 SYSTEM 0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3 / ├─sda3 ext4 DATA b411dc99-f0a0-4c87-9e05-184977be8539 /home └─sda4 swap f9fe0b69-a280-415d-a03a-a32752370dee [SWAP]
For those using GPT, use the blkid
command instead. The latter is more convenient for scripts, but more difficult to read.
$ blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="CBB6-24F2" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI SYSTEM PARTITION" PARTUUID="d0d0d110-0a71-4ed6-936a-304969ea36af" /dev/sda2: LABEL="SYSTEM" UUID="0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="GNU/LINUX" PARTUUID="98a81274-10f7-40db-872a-03df048df366" /dev/sda3: LABEL="DATA" UUID="b411dc99-f0a0-4c87-9e05-184977be8539" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="HOME" PARTUUID="7280201c-fc5d-40f2-a9b2-466611d3d49e" /dev/sda4: UUID="f9fe0b69-a280-415d-a03a-a32752370dee" TYPE="swap" PARTLABEL="SWAP" PARTUUID="039b6c1c-7553-4455-9537-1befbc9fbc5b
by-label
Almost every filesystem type can have a label. All your partitions that have one are listed in the /dev/disk/by-label
directory. This directory is created and destroyed dynamically, depending on whether you have partitions with labels attached.
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label
total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 DATA -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 SYSTEM -> ../../sda2
The labels of your filesystems can be changed. Following are some methods for changing labels on common filesystems:
- swap
swaplabel -L <label> /dev/XXX
using util-linux- ext2/3/4
e2label /dev/XXX <label>
using e2fsprogs- btrfs
btrfs filesystem label /dev/XXX <label>
using btrfs-progs- reiserfs
reiserfstune -l <label> /dev/XXX
using reiserfsprogs- jfs
jfs_tune -L <label> /dev/XXX
using jfsutils- xfs
xfs_admin -L <label> /dev/XXX
using xfsprogs- fat/vfat
dosfslabel /dev/XXX <label>
using dosfstools- fat/vfat
mlabel -i /dev/XXX ::<label>
using mtools- ntfs
ntfslabel /dev/XXX <label>
using ntfs-3g- zfs
- this filesystem does not support
/dev/disk/by-label
, but #by-partlabel may be used
by-uuid
UUID is a mechanism to give each filesystem a unique identifier. These identifiers are generated by filesystem utilities (e.g. mkfs.*
) when the partition gets formatted and are designed so that collisions are unlikely. All GNU/Linux filesystems (including swap and LUKS headers of raw encrypted devices) support UUID. FAT and NTFS filesystems (fat and windows labels above) do not support UUID, but are still listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid
with a shorter UID (unique identifier):
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 0a3407de-014b-458b-b5c1-848e92a327a3 -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 b411dc99-f0a0-4c87-9e05-184977be8539 -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 CBB6-24F2 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 f9fe0b69-a280-415d-a03a-a32752370dee -> ../../sda4
The advantage of using the UUID method is that it is much less likely that name collisions occur than with labels. Further, it is generated automatically on creation of the filesystem. It will, for example, stay unique even if the device is plugged into another system (which may perhaps have a device with the same label).
The disadvantage is that UUIDs make long code lines hard to read and break formatting in many configuration files (e.g. fstab or crypttab). Also every time a partition is resized or reformatted a new UUID is generated and configs have to get adjusted (manually).
by-id と by-path
by-id
creates a unique name depending on the hardware serial number, by-path
depending on the shortest physical path (according to sysfs). Both contain strings to indicate which subsystem they belong to (i.e. -ide-
for by-path
, and -ata-
for by-id
), so they are linked to the hardware controlling the device. This implies different levels of persistence: the by-path
will already change when the device is plugged into a different port of the controller, the by-id
will change when the device is plugged into a port of a hardware controller subject to another subsystem. [1] Thus, both are not suitable to achieve persistent naming tolerant to hardware changes.
However, both provide important information to find a particular device in a large hardware infrastructure. For example, if you do not manually assign persistent labels (by-label
or by-partlabel
) and keep a directory with hardware port usage, by-id
and by-path
can be used to find a particular device.[2] [3]
by-partlabel
Partition labels can be defined in the header of the partition entry on GPT disks.
See also Wikipedia:GUID Partition Table#Partition entries.
This method is very similar to the filesystem labels, excepted that the dynamic directory is /dev/disk/by-partlabel
.
ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/
total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 EFI\x20SYSTEM\x20PARTITION -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 GNU\x2fLINUX -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 HOME -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 SWAP -> ../../sda4
by-partuuid
Like GPT partition labels, GPT partition UUID are defined in the partition entry on GPT disks.
Wikipedia:ja:GUIDパーティションテーブル#パーティションエントリ (LBA 2〜33) も見て下さい。
The dynamic directory is similar to other methods and, like UUID filesystems, using UUIDs is prefered over labels.
ls -l /dev/disk/by-partuuid/
total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 039b6c1c-7553-4455-9537-1befbc9fbc5b -> ../../sda4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 7280201c-fc5d-40f2-a9b2-466611d3d49e -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 98a81274-10f7-40db-872a-03df048df366 -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 23:31 d0d0d110-0a71-4ed6-936a-304969ea36af -> ../../sda1

永続的な命名の使用
There are various applications that can be configured using persistent naming. Following are some examples of how to configure them.
fstab
次の記事を参照してください: fstab#UUID。
ブートマネージャ
To use persistent names in your boot manager, the following prerequisites must be met:
- You are using a mkinitcpio initial RAM disk image
- You have udev enabled in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
In the above example, /dev/sda1
is the root partition. In the GRUB grub.cfg
file, the linux line looks like this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 rw quiet
Depending on which naming scheme you would prefer, change it to one of the following:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/root_myhost rw quiet
or:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=2d781b26-0285-421a-b9d0-d4a0d3b55680 rw quiet
If you are using LILO, then do not try this with the root=...
configuration option; it will not work. Use append="root=..."
or addappend="root=..."
instead. Read the LILO man page for more information on append
and addappend
.
There is an alternative way to use the label embedded in the filesystem. For example if (as above) the filesystem in /dev/sda1
is labeled root_myhost
, you would give this line to GRUB:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=LABEL=root_myhost rw quiet
