List All Mounted Drives and their Partitions from the Terminal in opensuse

hello dear linux-experts - i waant to list all mounted drives

i run OpenSuse Linux 12.3 - i want to have an oververiew on all the dirves and partitions:

note; there is only one drive in the notebook and one external is mounted.

To list all mounted drives and their accompanying partitions from the Terminal, type the following command:
i tried to run the following command:

diskutil list

i thought this will give us feedback like the following,
listing out the mounted drives,
their volume names,
the size of the drive and partitions,
their partition types, and
their identifier location:

but unfortunatley the command does not work

this command does not work - diskutil list

which one is more appropiate!?

sayx

Code:

mount

Code:

df

will list all mounted filesystems/partitions

Code:

fdisk -l

will list all disks and their partitions, mounted or unmounted.

hello - many many thanks for the quick reply

great to hear from you!

the background - as you allready know! i have a notebook with the following amount of data:

Code:

62 gb        

224 686 files 

47868 subfolder

i have a external hdd that has got one TERABITE

it is mounted here:

Code:

/mnt/external/

Each time i try to copy the data to the external drive - with Dolphin - i get serious errors: the copy-procedure ends up with a mess - not all of the data is being copied to the external drive.

see the results:

Code:

2.7 g of 19,7 gb are free

87 % are in use ! 

117 files 

47289 subfolder

question: is there any obvious error that we can see - i listed the

well what is wrong´ here;:

note - i have to copy 62 gb - but this fails every time i try to do so.
note; some reasons for the failure may have to do with the data for the thundervbird - which is among the dataset - that need to be backuped .-...

note; i have an error martin/.thunderbird/4crusgOg.default/global-messages-db.sqlite
cannot be written - not enough disc-space..

to sum it up: i have certain issus in copying the dataset to the exernal drive - (method: dolphin - the graphical tool)

in advance many many thanks for any and all help!!

greetings

It sounds like you're not copying it onto the external, you're copying it to some other directory that is a subset of /. Your external is at /media/HDDRIVE2GO.

hello suicidaleggroll

- thx alot for the hints. There something went wrong. And you pointed it out! Many many thanks!

by the way: is there any chance to mount partitions automatically on startup in linux.

note: Although partitions created when installing a Linux distribution are automatically mounted on boot, the ones created before the installation need to be mounted manually (unless we manually create a mount point on installation).
I heard about that this can be changed, however.

Have a look at /etc/fstab; all the mounts should be listed there.

Yes this can be done by adding entries in the file /etc/fstab. All entries in this file will automatically be mounted at startup.
