Linux: Mount Disk Partition Using LABEL

Linux: Mount Disk Partition Using LABEL

To mount a disk partition using the LABEL on a Linux system, you will need to use the -L option with the mount command.

For example, to mount a partition with the LABEL data to the /mnt/data directory, you can use the following command:

sudo mount -L data /mnt/data

This will mount the partition with the LABEL data to the /mnt/data directory.

To make the mount persistent across reboots, you will need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab file. Open the /etc/fstab file in a text editor and add the following line:

LABEL=data /mnt/data auto defaults 0 0

This will tell the system to mount the partition with the LABEL data to the /mnt/data directory at boot time.

Keep in mind that you will need to have root privileges (or be a member of the sudo group) in order to mount and unmount partitions.

You can use the blkid command to list the LABELs of all partitions on your system:

blkid

This will output a list of all partitions and their LABELs, as well as other information such as the UUID and filesystem type.
