How to know how many partitions I have
 

Hi..

I would like to know a way to view the partitions I have in my hard disk, not using the command fdisk -l

I use Fedora Core 2

Regards

Just curious :scratch: why would you not want to use fdisk -l. Are you just looking for alternate to fdisk -l??

Try

If you have KDE installed, System Tools -> More System Tools -> KDiskFree (or kdf in terminal) will show you partitions listed in fstab, with used/free space. There are also similar utilities in Gnome.

No. Just because when I use that command it appears the message:

bash: fdisk: command not found

If I am right? fdisk command and other system commands reside in /sbin and you are getting this error as that particular directory is not in your path.

do this,

# /sbin/fdisk -l

read up this link to do more with setting path and environment. You'll need to do this sooner or later so sooner the better.

I would assume its just an access restriction. You wouldn't want your users being able to partition the hard drive in a professional environment.

Try typing su, then give the root account password to elevate your access rights, after that type fdisk -l, it shoudl run. Then exit by typing exit after your done, to resume your normal user status.

To use fdisk you need to be logged in as root.
