From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which tool could I use to scan all drives and find where I have a file even when the drives are disconnected? (programming.dev)

To index the contents of the drives, you can redirect the output of the find command to a file. For example, find /path/to/your/drive -type f > drive_index.txt will create a file named drive_index.txt containing a list of all the files in the drive.

Then place all the file list in the same folder and grep that folder to find which drive contains the file.
