DF -h output
 

hi guys, i had type this command:
df -h

and i had these results:
Mounted on
/dev/sda3 /
udev /dev
/dev/sda5 /home

how to determine the device map settings on this?

is it /dev/sda3 = (hd0,1)

please help.

Thanks.

sda3 is the third (3) partition on the first (a) scsi (s) device(d)

from grub speak, (hd0,1) would be sda2

hi kewpie, thank you for your reply.

just want to check with you this one. i had type fdisk -l and i had this output below:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 258 2072353+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 * 259 1303 8393962+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 1304 53502 419288467+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 1304 53502 419288436 83 Linux

does it mean that my system has dual booting with Solaris?

what is sda4 W95 Ext'd (LBA)?

Thank you.

that column is just the partition flag, type 82 is just a swap partition.

the extd is a dos extended partition, which contains any logical partitions (sda5 here)

Wow, thank you. You have Linux at your heart already.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Merry Christmas!
