fdisk: Display disk information in Kubuntu 10.10

There are many times when specific disk information is useful.

You may need to know specific information about a disk in order to partition, format, and mount a disk.

It is also quite common to look up disk information to find issues with a disk which may not be working correctly.

The easiest and most common way to do this is by using fdisk. fdisk is a Partition table manipulator for Linux.

Using fdisk to display disk information is very simple:

  1. Hit Alt+F2 on you keyboard.
  2. In the “Run Command” dialog, type: “konsole” and hit the [enter] key.
  3. Then you will type the following code:
    sudo fdisk -l

    then press the [enter] key. This will list the partition tables and any included information.


For basic fdisk help:

  1. Hit Alt+F2 on you keyboard.
  2. In the “Run Command” dialog, type: “konsole” and hit the [enter] key.
  3. Then you will type the following code:
    fdisk -h

    or…

    fdisk -help

    then press the [enter] key. This will display (print to the screen) the fdisk help file.


To view a fdisk manual:

  1. Hit Alt+F2 on you keyboard.
  2. In the “Run Command” dialog, type: “konsole” and hit the [enter] key.
  3. Then you will type the following code:
    man fdisk

    then press the [enter] key. This will display the current fdisk manual.

All this providing more proof Konsole and Kubuntu are easy to use.

FYI: These steps should also work for Ubuntu.

God gifted me an aptitude for creativity and technology. I am currently using those gifts to deploy web servers and websites.

I believe the combination of those gifts and a little Godly inspiration lead to the creation of the GLEEMPLE Deployment Process.

Most of the technology articles I write are a result of working with web servers and websites deployed using the GLEEMPLE Deployment Process.
