本文讲述如何为你的块设备提供持久化命名。udev的导入使之成为可能，也使之优于基于总线的命名法。如果你的机器上有不止一个 SATA, SCSI 或 IDE 磁盘控制器，那么它们所对应的设备节点将会依随机次序添加。这样就可能导致每次引导时设备的名字如 `/dev/**sda**` 与 `/dev/**sdb**` 互换了，最终导致系统不可引导、kernel panic、或者设备不可见。持久化命名法可以解决这些问题。

**注意:** 如果你使用 [LVM2](/index.php/LVM "LVM")，本文将不适用。因为 LVM 自动处理这一问题。

## 持久化命名的方法

有四种持久化命名方案：[by-label](#by-label)、[by-uuid](#by-uuid)、[by-id 和 by-path](#by-id_and_by-path)。对于那些使用[GUID 分区表(GPT)](/index.php/GUID_Partition_Table "GUID Partition Table")的磁盘，还有额外的两种方案，[by-partlabel](#by-partlabel) 和 [by-partuuid](#by-partuuid)。你也可以[使用 Udev 静态设备名](#.E4.BD.BF.E7.94.A8_Udev_.E9.9D.99.E6.80.81.E8.AE.BE.E5.A4.87.E5.90.8D)方案。

下面讲解各种命名方案及其用法。

`lsblk -f` 命令用于以图示方式查看第一种方案：

 `$ 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]

```

对于 [GPT 分区表](/index.php/GUID_Partition_Table "GUID Partition Table")，应改用 `blkid` 命令。字母便于脚本使用但可读性降低。

 `$ 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

几乎每一个文件系统都可以有一个标签。所有有标签的分区都在 `/dev/disk/by-label` 目录中列出。这个目录是动态地创建和销毁的，视有无带标签的分区而定。

 `$ 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](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=util-linux)

	ext2/3/4 

	`e2label /dev/XXX <label>` using [e2fsprogs](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=e2fsprogs)

	btrfs 

	`btrfs filesystem label /dev/XXX <label>` using [btrfs-progs](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=btrfs-progs)

	reiserfs 

	`reiserfstune -l <label> /dev/XXX` using [reiserfsprogs](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=reiserfsprogs)

	jfs 

	`jfs_tune -L <label> /dev/XXX` using [jfsutils](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=jfsutils)

	xfs 

	`xfs_admin -L <label> /dev/XXX` using [xfsprogs](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xfsprogs)

	fat/vfat 

	`dosfslabel /dev/XXX <label>` using [dosfstools](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=dosfstools)

	fat/vfat 

	`mlabel -i /dev/XXX ::<label>` using [mtools](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=mtools)

	ntfs 

	`ntfslabel /dev/XXX <label>` using [ntfs-3g](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=ntfs-3g)

**Note:**

*   Changing the filesystem label of the root partition has to be done from a "live" GNU/Linux distribution because the partition needs to be unmounted first.
*   Labels have to be unambiguous to prevent any possible conflicts;
*   Labels can be up to 16 characters long.

### by-uuid

[UUID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID "wikipedia: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).

**Tip:** In case your swap partition does not have an UUID assigned, you will need to reset the swap partition using [mkswap](/index.php/Swap#Swap_partition "Swap") utility.

### by-id and 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`) and thus are not suitable for solving the problems mentioned in the beginning of this article. They will not be discussed any further here.

### by-partlabel

**Note:** This method only concerns disks with [GUID Partition Table (GPT)](/index.php/GUID_Partition_Table "GUID Partition Table").

Partition labels can be defined in the header of the partition entry on GPT disks.

See also [Wikipedia:GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries "wikipedia:GUID Partition Table").

This method is very similar to the [filesystem labels](#by-label), 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

```

**Note:**

*   GPT partition labels have also to be different to avoid conflicts. To change your partition label, you can use `gdisk` or the ncurse-based version `cgdisk`. Both are available from the [gptfdisk](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=gptfdisk) package. See [Partitioning#Partitioning_tools](/index.php/Partitioning#Partitioning_tools "Partitioning").
*   According to the specification, GPT partition labels can be up to 72 characters long.

### by-partuuid

**Note:** This method only concerns disks with [GUID Partition Table (GPT)](/index.php/GUID_Partition_Table "GUID Partition Table").

Like [GPT partition labels](#by-partlabel), GPT partition UUID are defined in the partition entry on GPT disks.

See also [Wikipedia:GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries "wikipedia:GUID Partition Table").

The dynamic directory is similar to other methods and, like [UUID filesystems](#by-uuid), 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

### 使用 Udev 静态设备名

See [Udev#Setting static device names](/index.php/Udev#Setting_static_device_names "Udev").

## 使用持久化的命名

There are various applications that can be configured using persistent naming. Following are some examples of how to configure them.

### fstab

See the main article: [fstab#UUIDs](/index.php/Fstab#UUIDs "Fstab")

### 引导管理器

To use persistent names in your boot manager, the following prerequisites must be met:

*   You are using a [mkinitcpio](/index.php/Mkinitcpio#Configuration "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](/index.php/GRUB "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](/index.php/LILO "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

```
