Re: [monit] How to check a device by its label ?

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

labels are not supported currently but you can use UUID of the filesystem like 
this:

  check filesystem with path 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/67544096-06a6-4f68-bed1-b03398641fb7

... there are also alternative names in /dev/disk/by-id/ and /dev/disk/by-path/ 
or you can use the mountpoint instead of device name.

Regards,
Martin
