Where do Subiquity's (Ubuntu Server's) disk ids come from, in the disk partitioning stage?

  • 772

In the manual partitioning stage of Subiquity (Ubuntu Server installer), there is a list of the disks, in the form of ids.

However, those are slightly different from the /dev/disk/by-id entries.

For example, Subiquity displays VBOX_HARRDISK_VB_01234_56789, while the corresponding /dev/disk/by-id file is scsi-0ATA-VBOX_HARRDISK_VB_01234_56789.

Where does the former come from? Is there any way to programmatically obtain it from the terminal (excluding text processing)?

    I think the disk ID string is read from the device ID of each disk (hardcoded).

    Please check if it matches what is displayed by the following commands:

    lsblk -o name,model,serial

LANG=C sudo parted -ls | grep 'Model:'

    In your particular case it is the device ID of the virtual disk of VirtualBox.
