knowing about partitions in fdisk command

Hi, i am using centos 6 x64.

Here is my fdisk table

Code:

  Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System

/dev/sda1  *          1          32      256000  83  Linux

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

/dev/sda2              32        6560    52428800  83  Linux

/dev/sda3            6560        7082    4194304  82  Linux swap / Solaris

/dev/sda4            7082      14588    60296192    5  Extended

/dev/sda5            7082      14588    60295168  8e  Linux LVM

I want to know where sda5 is mounted.

my mount points are

Code:

[root@swift ~]# mount

/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw)

proc on /proc type proc (rw)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")

/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol00 on /home type ext4 (rw)

/dev/mapper/MYSQLDATA-mysqldata on /MYSQL type ext4 (rw)

/dev/mapper/DATA-data on /data type ext4 (rw)

none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)

/dev/sde1 on /mnt type ext3 (rw)

nowhere, actually, because it isn't a file system of its own. Instead, it's a container for volumes controlled by the LVM, a bit like the extended partition in /dev/sda4, which is also just a container - you won't find /dev/sda4 mounted anywhere. Looking at the list of your mount points, I see:

Code:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol00 on /home type ext4 (rw)

/dev/mapper/MYSQLDATA-mysqldata on /MYSQL type ext4 (rw)

/dev/mapper/DATA-data on /data type ext4 (rw)

These seem to be the volumes contained in /dev/sda5.

I got your point. Actually there are more couple of disks which are formated as lvm. I checked those. Thanks for your valuable time. It resolved my querry.
