How do you use the terminal to list different drives?
 

What is the terminal command to list drives and partitiions in the terminal?

Sounds suspiciously like homework.
What are to trying to achieve, and what have you tried ?.

Well I was trying just trying to figure a way to switch drives using the terminal. I really prefer terminal interface to GUI. I actually a command for it the other day, but now, for the life of me, I cannot remember what command it was.

"parted -l" (or "fdisk -l") maybe. For Ubuntu you'll need to use "sudo".

"df" will show what is mounted - may or may not be what you're looking for. I prefer "df -hT" (see "man df" for details).
"ls" on (almost) anything listed will show lower levels - which can may be able to "cd" into. See the relevant manpages.

Thank you, 'df' was the command I was looking for!

I like cat /etc/mtab to show mounted drives, especially when I'm finetuning /etc/fstab.
