How to see in Linux the File System, Partitions and Disks?

When we have Linux operating systemwe would like to manage and be aware of what is happening with our file system, see what are the partitions and disks that we have on the computer with this operating system and its servers that provide us with many configurations and options that are very well received by the users.

But in today’s article we will be teaching you the ways to see the file system, the partitions and disk that your Linux system owns. With this we can be aware of any change that is happening or is happening in the computer and for this we must know that there are various tools for managing the computer system

What are the commands to display partitions and disks in Linux?

When we start using the commands to view partitions and disks that we have on our computer with Linux operating system. With the help of these commands we will be able to make a better visualization of these partitions and disks that we want to see, and above all, how quickly we can do it and how quickly what is shown.

View partitions with fdisk

Among the commands that we have available to see the partitions of our Linux computer, we have the ‘fdisk’ command. With this command we can view all existing partitions, create, delete and see the size of a partition that we have on the computer and you can only create partitions on the hard drive four times as primary

The first thing you will have to do is open the system linux commands to then put ‘fdisk -1′ to be able to view all partitions on the device. By giving enter, several lines of code will be displayed that will show us information about the partitions, and with the use of a command such as /dev/sda you will be able to see partitions on the hard drive.

View disks with lsblk

With the ‘lsblk’ command you will be able to have access to better visualize the disks that the computer with Linux system has added, and it shows them in an enumerated way for a better visualization. To make use of this command, we open the panel to execute them and we will have to put the Command ‘lsblk -a’in this way we can see the deposits that are in the computer.

How are the different partitions managed from Linux?

When we proceed to make or create a hard disk partition, we must also proceed to manage the different partitions that we make ya sea en Linux o en Windows. With this management, you will be able to achieve a better and correct operation and achieve a better administration on the computer with these commands.

Using CFDisk

With this command, we will be seeing on the screen the different partitions that we have in the computer, and with it we will proceed with a better management of these. Also, you will have the possibility of doing other types of tasks with this command and some other complements that we put, with this we can do the same join two or more partitions of a disk just like in Windows

• CFDisk -h command help
• CFDisk –d Works for partition deletion
• CFDisk –n This will help you to create partitions
• CFDisk –m Extend partition usage

With the Parted command

Another of the commands that allows us to better manage the partitions that we have in the system is the ‘Parted’ command, with this you can increase, extend and edit all partition tables on the Linux system. And not only can we do that, but we have other better functions like changing the distribution of the disk space that we have.

Other functions that we can do with this command that is very extensive when it comes to partition management, you can also create and activate new space zones for the partitions that you have available, and if you use ‘Parted’ with the property of -l you will be able to access and list the partitions of the computer on the disk.

How to use DF (disk file system) to view file system in Linux?

The Linux page gives us a better understanding of these topics on how to manage, use commands and other topics. But the operating system too, does not give learn more about the ‘DF’ command to see the file system of the operating system for a better interaction, in this way we can better see this data on the screen.

We can see the most detailed information of the space that the computer is using on the disk. If you want to have vision of this, we will have to use ‘df-Th’. This is a very particulate type of command, with the use of the -th parameters we will be able to see more clearly the list that will be displaying the type of file system
