Eject usb-device using UUID.

**sebastian.s** · May 4th, 2013

A simple question, is it possible to eject a usb-device by specifying its UUID insted of the device file? So insted of doing this:

Code:

eject /dev/sdb

You would do this:

Code:

eject 31AA-99B8

I have read the manual page but could not find any options for this, but i would like to ask here just to ne sure.

You should be able to use...

Code:

eject /dev/disk/by-uuid/31AA-99B8
