Storage UUID
Use blkid command-line utility to determine device UUID :
# blkid
Sample output :
/dev/mapper/centos_centos71-root: UUID="2bc8e0d4-64b5-4dc8-bf4a-024fc980d98a" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/centos_centos71-swap: UUID="577f9541-8d2a-4666-ac8f-ff84b584eeca" TYPE="swap" /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol: UUID="b100ad2b-ad89-4e2d-ba8e-7eda7d703c40" TYPE="ext4"
Verify the mounted partition :
# df -lh Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/centos_centos71-root 24G 3.1G 19G 15% / devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 25M 1.9G 2% /run tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 500M 0 500M 0% /etc/nginx/cache /dev/sda1 477M 230M 218M 52% /boot tmpfs 380M 0 380M 0% /run/user/0 /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol 9.8G 37M 9.2G 1% /data
How to change UUID for /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol which is in /data mounted partition
a) Generate new UUId using uuidgen utility :
# uuidgen fb5c697b-d1d6-49ab-afcd-27a22a5007c8
b) Please take note that the UUID may only be changed when the filesystem is unmounted.
# umount /data
c) Change UUID for LVM /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol with new generated UUID :
# tune2fs /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol -U fb5c697b-d1d6-49ab-afcd-27a22a5007c8 tune2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
d) Mount back the /data partition :
# mount /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol /data
e) Update /etc/fstab :
Option 1 :
UUID=fb5c697b-d1d6-49ab-afcd-27a22a5007c8 /data ext4 defaults 1 2
Option 2 :
/dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol /data ext4 defaults 1 2
f) Verify new UUID for /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol
# blkid
Sample output :
/dev/mapper/centos_centos71-root: UUID="2bc8e0d4-64b5-4dc8-bf4a-024fc980d98a" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/centos_centos71-swap: UUID="577f9541-8d2a-4666-ac8f-ff84b584eeca" TYPE="swap" /dev/mapper/vg_data-centos7_vol: UUID="fb5c697b-d1d6-49ab-afcd-27a22a5007c8" TYPE="ext4"
