This field generally takes the form of:

• /dev/XdY
• LABEL=< label>
• UUID=<uuid>

to uniquely identify a filesystem you want to mount. As a UUID is necessarily unique, you will find that this is the default in use on more modern systems whereas a device name and label are only in use on older systems, so we'll concentrate on UUIDs in this tutorial, but know that if you insist on using these order systems, they still work at the time of this writing.
