List all partition labels

Is there a command to list all partition labels?

I can list the partitions with

sudo fdisk -l 

but it doesn't show the labels of unmounted partitions.

sudo blkid -o list 

lists all devices with labels:

device fs_type label mount point UUID ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/sda1 ntfs WINRE_DRV (not mounted) 604C3A6A4C3A3B5C /dev/sda2 vfat SYSTEM_DRV (not mounted) 6C3C-72E3 /dev/sda3 vfat LRS_ESP (not mounted) 5240-1BEE /dev/sda5 ntfs Windows8_OS /media/Win8 A47A42FF7A42CDAC /dev/sda6 ntfs Daten /media/Daten 72860971860936DF 

Simply labels?

$ ls /dev/disk/by-label/ Download MuruHome Ubuntu Windows8 arch 

Or better:

$ tree /dev/disk/by-label/ # or use ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ ├── Download -> ../../sda6 ├── MuruHome -> ../../sdc2 ├── Ubuntu -> ../../sdc1 ├── Windows8 -> ../../sda2 └── arch -> ../../sda1 

If you're willing to use sudo (which blkid requires), then you could also use the lsblk command:

$ sudo lsblk -o NAME,LABEL NAME LABEL sda ├─sda1 System Reserved ├─sda2 windows ├─sda3 ubuntu ├─sda4 ├─sda5 arch ├─sda6 │ └─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) homelb └─sda7 sdb └─sdb1 └─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) homelb 

Use the command

lsblk -nPo MOUNTPOINT,UUID,LABEL 

You will get a list of fields that are most useful for your requirement.
