Gnome Find Drive Serial Number

In GNOME, you can find the serial number of a drive using the Disks utility. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Disks utility by clicking on the Applications menu and searching for “Disks”.
2. In the Disks window, select the drive you want to find the serial number for from the list of drives on the left-hand side.
3. Once you have selected the drive, click on the gear icon at the top right corner of the window and select “Drive Settings”.
4. In the “Drive Settings” window, you will see the serial number listed under the “Device” section.

Alternatively, you can use the udevadm command to find the serial number of a drive. Here are the steps:

1. Open the terminal by clicking on the Applications menu and searching for “Terminal”.
2. In the terminal, type the following command to find the device name of the drive:
   sudo fdisk -l

3. Look for the device name of the drive in the output of the fdisk command. It will be something like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb.
4. Once you have found the device name, type the following command to find the serial number:
   sudo udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/sda | grep ID_SERIAL


   Replace /dev/sda with the device name of your drive.

5. The output of the udevadm command will show the serial number of the drive. It will be listed as ID_SERIAL= followed by the serial number.
