List of all available partitions?


Hello,

How can I get a list of all available disks and partitions?

Is it possible to get using some command, or I have to check in /dev directory?


tnx in adv!

Launch as root
Code:
fdisk -l
That is a lower case L, not the number 1.

Code:
df -h
will show you all mounted partitions, their mount point, and storage (used/free)

Code:
$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                 98G   18G   80G  18% /
udev                  1.8G     0  1.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                 1.8G  2.0M  1.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 1.8G  692K  1.8G   1% /run
/dev/sda2              98G   18G   80G  18% /
tmpfs                 1.8G   12K  1.8G   1% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sdb2             155G  131G   17G  89% /home
/dev/sda3             135G   40G   88G  32% /stuff
/dev/sda2              98G   18G   80G  18% /tmp
/dev/sda2              98G   18G   80G  18% /var/tmp
/dev/sdb2             155G  131G   17G  89% /home
/dev/sda1             497M   89M  384M  19% /boot
just like that.

For a quick'n'dirty listing of available devices, I like to use "cat /proc/partitions".
