# [NAME](#NAME)

lfs-getname - retrieve the filesystem name and instance ID

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

`lfs getname` \[**--help**|**-h**] \[**--instance**|**-i**] \[**--fsname**|**-n**] \[**--uuid**|**-u**] \[*PATHNAME*...]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Print the filesystem name, instance ID, and mountpoint for all Lustre mount points on the local client. If one or more *PATHNAME* arguments are provided, then only print the Lustre filesystem name and instance ID for these mount points.

# [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS)

[**-h**, **--help**](#h)

Print usage message.

[**-i**, **--instance**](#i)

Only show the mount instance ID for each filesystem. If **-i** is used with a single *PATHNAME* then the instance ID is printed without the mountpoint.

[**-n**, **--fsname**](#n)

Print only the Lustre filesystem name for each filesystem. If **-n** is used with a single *PATHNAME* then the filesystem name is printed without the mountpoint.

[**-u**, **--uuid**](#u)

Print only the UUID for this client filesystem mountpoint. Note that this is not a common UUID suitable for mounting the filesystem with, but rather a unique identifier for this specific mount instance. If **-u** is used with a single *PATHNAME* then the uuid is printed without the mountpoint.
