Hi,

as root:

Code:

fdisk -l

check the fdisk man page for details.

run the following command to find the partitions in your Linux system:

sudo fdisk -l

if(fdisk is not installed, first install it with following command)

sudo apt-get install fdisk

then run the above first command again.
Hope it will help

Thanks for responding.. But is there any other way as i m not root & not allowed to run fdisk ???

use this: sudo fdisk -l

you can also use:

gparted

for this purpose as well.

Can we use /proc/partition info also as an alternative to fdisk?

G-parted indeed. I used it last week and it is an efficient application.
Helpful in looking at all partitions on your computer.

You can use

Code:

cat /proc/partitions

#Or if the admin will give you access 
# to just this cmd
sudo fdisk -l
