How To List All Partitions Of A Disk In Linux?

Operating systems use storage or disks to save data persistently. Disks are used with partitions to manage them easily. Generally operating system and data partitions are placed separately. Home directory of the Linux is separated because a problem in the home directory like fulling do no effect to the general system. Modern Linux system use a lot of partitions. And here is the question How can I list partitions exists in my Linux system.

List Partitions With fdisk

fdisk is number one tool used by system administrators to manage disk. fdisk provides creating, deleting, listing of partitions. We need to use sudo in order to get root privileges.

List Partitions With fdisk

• There is a lot of information from system administrator perspective.
• /dec/vda is disk to list partitions
• /dev/vda1 is the partition of the disk

List Partitions with /proc/partitions

We can get more simpler list by using kernel provided information like below

List Partitions with /proc/partitions

• /proc/partitions provides information about partitions in a simple manner
• vda1 is a partition

List Partitions with parted

Parted is popular application especially creating, deleting partitions and file systems. We can use parted to list partitions too. We will also use -l option in order to list partitions.

List Partitions with parted

Disk information like Model, Sector Size and Partition Table type is also provided.

List Partitions with blkid

blkid is a command which will list block information with the related ID or UUID. This will also print partitions too. We need to provide sudo command too.

List Partitions with blkid

List Partitions with lsblk

lsblk is generally used to get mount points of the partitions but also used to list partitions. This command will list partitions and disk in a tree form.

List Partitions with lsblk

As we can see that fedora-root and fedora-swap are partitions created in the sda . There is also information like partition and disk size, type and mount point.

command not found…

Which command will display the number of devices in my system (routers/switches/AP)

I purchased the Hp 15-n018 model laptop, when i checking with vendor they said will not support for Linux operating and i didn’t found the driver in internet….. i able found in win 8 and 8.1….
But am very interested in Linux operating system…. any one can please help me where i can the driver.

Sudinhar: it really depends on what driver you’re talking about for which specific device and for which specific Linux distribution.
The laptop itself may require any number of drivers, including HD, CD/DVD, sound, display, network, etc.
Many Linux distributions come with drivers for a wide variety of systems & devices, and you can generally get Linux up & running on just about anything these days with enough patience.
You can generally repartition your hard drive without losing any data using tools provided in distribution ISOs/DVDs & install Linux as a dual boot without fear of not being able to also use Windows if necessary as a backup.
I first installed Linux on a laptop back in the 90s, and it was difficult to get all the drivers but I did eventually & it worked ok.
These days it’s usually much simpler and any up to date Linux distribution should run just fine on your laptop with a little setup & TLC.

As a side note, I’d like to thank the author of this article, the commands worked as advertised & provided the information I required.

Linux has a long history of not “playing well” with laptops, and unless you get a laptop that is “certified” to run with Linux, you’re bound to have headaches. Something else you might try is keeping the laptop as is, and installing Virtual Box, by Sun (Oracle?) I believe it’s available on-line at no charge. This is a VM system, which will allow you to load a real copy of Linux, as it emulates a real computer. Personally, I use VMware Workstation (I’ve had it for years, but it’s a commercial product) which does the same thing, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about Virtual Box. You can then launch Linux in a window, and it’s a “real” linux version, which you will install from the distribution ISO.

Let’s say I want to display on the i3status bar whether a device/share is mounted.
How would that be accomplished?

I’m kind of new to i3, but as of what I’ve found online about the wm, it is a matter of finding the right parameter on i3status or i3blocks (whichever you use).

Linux View Hard Drive Partitions with fdisk and parted commands

Q . I’d like to see all the partitions on my scsi hard drives. Under Windows Disk manager shows exactly how space is allocated on the disk drivers and free space etc. How do I display hard drive partitions information?

A . You can use any one of the following command:
[a] fdisk command : Partition table manipulator for Linux
[b] GNU Parted : a partition manipulation program

fdisk -l command

To list the partition tables for the specified devices and then exit. If no devices are given, those mentioned in /proc/partitions (if that exists) are used i.e. it will try to display all partitions, enter:
$ sudo fdisk -l
OR
# fdisk -l

Is there any day to day Linux Admin topic that you have left 😉

I’ve been facing this problem for some time and I guess i might get some help over here.

When partition is made or altered by Linux or Windows, it can easily be read by Linux but not if the partition table is altered by Linux (i.e. by making changes in partitions by Linux), it becomes unreadable by Windows.

Take the case of installing Windows XP or something on a box containing RHEL. When one tries to boot that system with a Windows XP cd for installing it, the setup hangs after showing something like – “Windows is checking you system configuration”. This happens because XP is unable to read partition Table entries made by Linux.

Now wipe out the entire MBR along with the Partition Table, XP boots okay showing the entire hard disk space as Unallocated Space.

Now i want to know if there is any workaround available for this problem. i.e Installing Windows on a box having RHEL installed on it. I dont want to remove RHEL every time before installing Windows for making it dual bootable.

Hi,
I have installed Redhat-5 in my system….
But cdwriter not mount….
Means when i run “mount /media/cdrecorder”, it is showing path not found….
I can go up to “cd /media”, then when i give “ls” command nothing is showing
Please support

You just insert the CD or DVD then login into the root and type these commands

mount /dev/dvd /media mount /dev/cd /mnt
cd /media cd /mnt
ls /media ls /mnt

you can follow any one column..

I have a harddisk I installed ubuntu linux in it the harddisk space it 20 gb i instlled it in 10 gb with swap space now i wnat to see the remeaning space how could i see use it
please help??

i have installed ubuntu linux in 23gb partition of my laptop but after installation grub is not showing windows 7 to boot and ubuntu not showing other drives. i already have tried “boot repair”. now i dont know what to do and how to save my data?
need help.

Model: ATA WDC WD3200BEVT-6 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 320GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 18.1GB 18.1GB primary ext4 boot
2 18.1GB 22.1GB 3999MB extended
5 18.1GB 22.1GB 3999MB logical linux-swap(v1)

If you had not removed windows partitions while installing Ubuntu, then your windows partitions should be intact.

Don’t panic, its easy accessing windows partitions and the files and folders within them from Ubuntu (But not the other way around ;D not at-least jeopardizing the Ubuntu installation, and let me get straight on this that it MS to blame for this, not Ubuntu).

You can easily take backup of windows partition data on any external media like External Hard Disk/Pen Drive/CD/DVD/etc if you want.
—– (You don’t even need to) ——-

To access windows partitions, just open the File Browser (A Drawer like icon on the Launcher Panel on the left of the desktop screen)

In the windows that is now opened, you can see your windows partition on the left panel.
See the image on this link to see how it should look like:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-omfXnS75kuM/TjK-YxLqAZI/AAAAAAAACRQ/v3-g6RFsgEY/s1600/PCMan+file+manager+in+ubuntu+11.04.png

(The “Win XP” and “Mix” shown on the left panel are windows partitions. The name will differ as per the naming on your PC)

To access files on these partitions you simply need to click on the partition.
(See HOW EASY IT WAS and you were probably tearing your hair off by now 😀 )

You can plug in an external hard disk and copy your files to it from here if you want.

And for that windows 7 Partition not showing, it is probably because of “Secure Boot” and “EFI” settings in the BIOS of your PC/Laptop. There are lots of how-to’s out there in the net. Just google it, study and take notes before doing an Installation.

A quick fix you can try at this stage is running the following commands:

$sudo su –
[enter password of your account]

#update-grub
or
#update-grub2 (***use this if available)

Now reboot your PC/Laptop to check if both Ubuntu and Windows are available now in the grub boot menu.

1st i installed windows 7 then installed RED HAT 7. after that dual booting option is not showing. Please help.
