I think what you're looking for is a utility to list the partition table
of your machine. <parted -l> will give you that list. I suggest parted
and not fdisk because I don't think fdisk recognizes gpt partitions
yet. If you know that your partition table is *not* gpt, fdisk will
work fine.
Using df to help write /etc/fstab is a good idea. But if you want all
of your partitions in it, df won't give you the complete picture.
Just a comment. I've started to use the findmnt commend in later
util-linux versions. It's more robust than df.
I have an alias:
alias dfh='findmnt -ln -o SOURCE,TARGET,FSTYPE,SIZE,USED,AVAIL,USE% |
grep sd'
Looking at it just now, perhaps I should add '|sort -h' to that.
$ dfh | sort -h
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 94.7M 55.3M 34.3M 58%
/dev/sda11 /home ext3 9.7G 9G 230.5M 93%
/dev/sda5 / ext4 9.7G 6.5G 2.8G 66%
/dev/sda9 /usr/src ext3 39.3G 23.8G 13.5G 61%
/dev/sdb3 /mnt/lfs ext4 9.7G 2.8G 6.4G 29%
/dev/sdb4 /opt ext4 9.7G 8.6G 590.8M 89%
/dev/sdb5 /tmp ext4 9.7G 7.5G 1.7G 78%
Hmm. Now that I look at it, I need to clean up /opt. 3 OpenJDK
versions, 3 ant, 2 fop, 3 ftetts, 4 kde, 6 qt, 2 texlive, and 2 xorg.
