DESCRIPTION
findfs will search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
are:

tables.
If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.
The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

partx --show <disk>
