Shows all partitions on the HDD

fdisk -l

Search files with ‘.rpm’ extension ignoring removable partitions as cdrom, pen-drive, etc.

find / -xdev -name \*.rpm

Shows all mounted file systems in Linux

cat /proc/mounts

Mount a Windows FAT partition. If it is an NTFS partion, use ‘ntfs’ instead of ‘fat’. Make sure that the kernel support ntfs if you want to do that.

mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/d

<p class=”intro”>If you have many IDE harddisks connected to the system(but not mounted), this command will find it. This will work for sata HDD as well if you use ’sd’ instead of ‘hd’</p>

<pre><code class=”cli”>
ls /dev/hd*
</code></pre>

<p>Simple, is it not? To find the mounted drives just use the command ‘dh’.</p>
