+@deffn Command uuid [UUID]
|
|
+Set the current @dfn{root device} to the device with the universally
|
|
+unique identifier @var{UUID}, then attempt to mount it. This is
|
|
+equivalent to the @ref{root} command, but allows one to select a
|
|
+filesystem by UUID rather than by device.
|
|
+
|
|
+The command recognises ext2, ext3, fat, hfs, jfs, ntfs, ocfs, reiserfs
|
|
+and xfs filesystems.
|
|
+
|
|
+@strong{Note:} grub detects and recognises fat UUIDs in lower case
|
|
+whereas examining /dev/disk/by-uuid on Linux will report fat UUIDs
|
|
+in upper case.
|
|
+
|
|
+By not specifying @var{UUID}, the command will scan partitions on
|
|
+attached devices and will display the device, partition type and
|
|
+UUID for each recognised filesystem.
