visualizing disk layouts?

Hello,

Is there a program out there that will allow me to visualize how my disks are laid out? I mean showing me how /dev/sda1 is mapped to any lvm partitions and/or software raid paritions?

I don't need something to show me my mount points, or show me where /etc is. I need to know at a glance how full my filesystems are, and perhaps where I can shift things around.

Thanks!

Fedora 15 gnome comes with:

baobab - visualizing filesystmes and how much space they take up
palimpsest - visualizing disk layout and partitions and other disk statistics such as things reported by S.M.A.R.T.


baobab's icon in Gnome 3.0 is called "Disk Usage Analyzer"
palimpsest's icon in Gnome 3.0 is called "Disk Utility"

KDE's Kdiskfree works very nicely.
