@arielf: it's there on Ubuntu 18, but ext2 labels from dmsetup devices don't show by this method (nor by lsblk). They only show with e2label.

Answer is > 10 years old. Things have changed since? On my system (Ubuntu 20.04) there's no /dev/disk/by-label OTOH: there's /dev/disk/by-partlabel

On my system /dev/disk/by-label is unpopulated when the initramfs mounts root fs.

For me, my swap partition and mounted partitions are not shown, but that may just be coincidence. Anyhow, sudo lsblk -o name,mountpoint,label,size,uuid worked for me.

Hi @Ilkka - thanks for your answer! Indeed, ls -la /dev/disk/by-label seems to show labels of unmounted partitions; so that solves my problem, I guess... Although, I really would have preferred an option for fdisk or parted instead :) Cheers!

At least on my machine, it is indeed only the filesystems with labels that get linked in there, as confirmed(?) by using Alan Kuras' mount -l suggestion.
