How to get the VOLUME-ID of an external disk

[mgr]

Hello,

TS-1079pro, Firmware version 4.0.7

I have attached an external disk to the NAS via eSATA. I can see the disk under 'external devices' in the web interface. I can format it, I can see some information about the device. But I cannot get the VOLUME-ID of the attached disk. I need to know the VOLUME-ID of the connected disk since I want to attach a backup job to this volume-id only. Any idea how to get it?

Regards, Michael

Hello Philippe,

thank you for your hint. I did it on the shell as you suggested. Here is my output.

Code: Select all

/dev/md2: UUID="e4b93bd4-287e-440d-9919-a3e7cf9353fd" TYPE="crypt_LUKS"
/dev/md11: UUID="d945188a-98bd-4497-bcbe-bcb1515dcd98" TYPE="crypt_LUKS"
/dev/sdl1: UUID="206F1E39387A444C" LABEL="BackupTask-1.1" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/dm-0: LABEL="Volume3" UUID="f5022baa-7c79-48f4-a191-2bb02e25888e" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/dm-1: LABEL="Volume1" UUID="762dbcfa-dcdb-42aa-8a1a-bae860aaf276" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdm1: UUID="0F7C0DE6292BAF95" TYPE="ntfs"

The UUID listed here corresponds to the so-called VOLUME-ID used for binding a backup job to a distinct disk. Thank you.

I wonder if there is a way to get the volume-id of the external disk in the web interface as well.
