understanding /dev/disk/by- folders
Question: What does /dev/disk/by-pathdescribe? And where is this documented?
Going through the meaning of what is displayed in the folders
/dev/disk/by- I've got that far, and I wonder is this correct?
by-id Ë based upon the serial number of the hardware devices
by-label Ë Whatever name was set manually for this disk
by-path Ë ?!
by-uuid Ë Universal Unique Identifier: a uniquely created string to
identify the disk [done so through the system]
[Note: I work on GNU/Linux Debian 7, Crunchbang, if this mattersc]
