After disk encryption with LUKS I have chacked my disk with lsblk and found the bellow output. Here the luks id luks-95a00a58-7a6f-429a-a45f-02308d9b1b28 is not familiar to me . What is the meaning of this format "luks-95a00a58-7a6f-429a-a45f-02308d9b1b28"



[subarno@test-1 ~]$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 15G 0 disk

├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot

└─sda2 8:2 0 14G 0 part

└─luks-95a00a58-7a6f-429a-a45f-02308d9b1b28 253:0 0 14G 0 crypt
├─centos_test--1-root 253:1 0 12.5G 0 lvm /

└─centos_test--1-swap 253:2 0 1.5G 0 lvm [SWAP]

          The “luks-” prefix marks the partition as encrypted using LUKS. The rest is a Universally Unique Identifier or UUID, commonly used to, you guessed it, uniquely identify one thing (in this case an encrypted partition) of potentially many.
