Each diskis listed along with its capacity and partitions. In Listing 6.6, there is one disk, /dev/sda,with eight partitions.

Executing theparted command as the root user gives you a parted prompt on which toissue commands for the specified device. For example, to specify the first device on theSCSI bus, use the parted /dev/sda command. While in parted, use the print commandto list the disk geometry and partitions on the device. Listing 6.7 shows output fromparted for a 300 GB disk partitioned to use LVM.LISTING 6.7List of Partitions from partedGNU Parted 1.7.1Using /dev/sda
