Hello All;
(If U dont want to read all the stuff below, How can I get complete partition info , sizes in MB or GB and mount-points in linux? so I can duplicate them on another machine)? Thnx!


OK (and as Paul Harvey used to say; "Here's the rest of the story"):

I am re-installing Ubuntu Linux on this server which was setup by an unknown person (to me).
I have this other server (A) which is off site and I want to make this server here (B) a backup. A and B are similar in HDDs configs. ,
So I want to know:

1-How the partitions were setup on server A?
2-What are A's Mount Points and Sizes of Partitions?

I do have ssh access to A.
When I do an fdisk -l I see sda1, 2 and 3
But that does not tell me how big the partitions are and where they were mounted at? (I know / is a must but what about the rest like /home or whatever?).

Oh and when I do a df -h I see the sizes and some folder names but I do not think those are mount points?!
like /var/run? I dont remember mounting var/run on my own machine ever?



Thank you in advance for any help.

To find out what is currently actually mounted, just use the mount command without anything following. This will tell you how things you see in "df -h" actually are mounted. Your looking for things that relate to physical devices like /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb2. You can always do "mount | grep /dev/" to cut it down to physical devices. Just remember that things like CD-ROMs, USB sticks and other such devices may also be listed.

Oh man (youre the guy with a cool name) hey thanks a lot, I used mount -l and I got too much stuff in return (like you said) a lot of devices which I am not concerned with right now, but I appreciate the grep switch. That works just great.

Thank You!
