If you have partitions that are not mounted, you can see them with the 'fdisk -l' command.

Are you certain that /home, /tmp and /usr aren't directories in the root partition. I.E. are they empty, or do they contain files. Is your server running?

thx reply , the /home, /tmp and /usr is under / directory , I only don't know how to mount it , so that I can see all this path when run "df" , thx

The default auto selection creates 3 partitions
/
/boot
/swap

You do not have seperate partitions for /home, /tmp and /usr and so you can not mount them. Use the du command to find disk usage for those directories.

You can not. This install has seperate partitions for /home, /var and /usr and your first post does not. The command df shows disk usage on mounted filesystems.

In your first post /dev/hda2 is your / which contains everything except /boot.
