Any method to list the APFS volumes with their labels #69

Open AdityaGarg8 opened 3 months ago

AdityaGarg8 commented 3 months ago

I have an APFS container with many volumes. Is there any command I can use to list the volumes with their names?

Or is there any way I can mount a volume by its LABEL instead of volume number

Neither are implemented so far. The second would probably be much easier. I'll look into it as soon as I have the time.

I'm looking into this now, and mounting by label is actually impossible because apple allows multiple volumes to share the same label. I guess I could write a tool to list the labels.

LGTM. Maybe we could also make the file managers display the label being mounted as well.
