lsblk - what are the possible values for the column “state”
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am creating an overview site of my hard drives (HDD) I have installed in a machine. That website requests the HDDs including the state through a lsblk command. I want to indicate the status (state) on the website by a traffic light system but the only status so far that I am aware of is "running". I did not have any failures yet hence why my question.
Can anybody tell me what other statuses there are for the state column?

Looking at the source code for lsblk, for the STATE column, the only states defined are running or suspended

adding a manpage as comment (yes, sorry realShadow, but it was a bit hidden): man dmsetup "suspend ... Suspends a device. Any I/O that has already been mapped by the device but has not yet completed will be flushed. Any further I/O to that device will be postponed for as long as the device is suspended. ..." . I verified it affects lsblk's output. So chances are it's meaningful in relation to stuff like LVM etc. I don't know why it's also displayed for physical devices.

Fantastic. I will head over and review the items there and see what other information I can draw out of the documentation for my website.

You can specify output options -o for lsblk, in this case STATE is what you are looking for.
sudo lsblk -a -o NAME,MAJ:MIN,PARTTYPE,STATE
NAME MAJ:MIN PARTTYPE STATE
sda 8:0 running
├─sda1 8:1 21686148-6449-6e6f-744e-656564454649
├─sda2 8:2 0fc63daf-8483-4772-8e79-3d69d8477de4
├─sda3 8:3 0fc63daf-8483-4772-8e79-3d69d8477de4
└─sda4 8:4 0fc63daf-8483-4772-8e79-3d69d8477de4
lsblk --help will give you more options to include if needed.
