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

why does this command not work - diskutil list

which one is better

This will give you a nice human-readable overview

hello - robin hello deano_ferrari, :wink:

many many thanks for the quick reply

great to hear from you! the command you mention - deano ferrari - works great.

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


62 gb    
224 686 files 
47868 subfolder

i have a external hdd that has got one TERABITE

it is mounted here:

/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:


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
dilbert

btw - @ robin - i have found the **diskutill - **command in an ubuntu -forum… but this does not fit.

And that’s the reason you want information about what is mounted? I
don’t see how they relate.

Well, you see, there is no “/mnt/external/” anywhere. Instead, there is
a “/media/HDDRIVE2GO” of about 1TB.

It fails because there is nothing mounted at “/mnt/external/”, so you
are copying files to the root partition instead, which has only 20 Gigs.
It fills and the copy bombs out.

hello dear Robin

many thanks for the reply.

well i subsequentlx mount the following

/mnt/external

or - … the drive like it is called above.

btw: i heard bout the automatic mounting.

and on a sindenote - if i can browse in the erxternal drive - after booting the whoe system - this does not mean that the drive is mounted!?!?

i thought that it ___was __? whiy it was not.

in other words - i have to make sure that the mounting is being done.
we have no automatical mounting -
the fact that i can browse the files and folders in the drive - does not indicate that it is mounted correctly!?

i will do more trials and will do as you advices.

i come back and report all the findings

many many thanks for all your hints.

greetings
dilbert;)

Issue the command “mount” and find out. Or “df” as you did before.

No - because it could be the files that you copied on to root thinking
it was the external drive.
