How to view if partitions primary or secondary in Linux
How do I view my partitions if they are primary or secondary in Linux CentOS? I tried df -T
but it does not show if partitions are primary or secondary.
Use the cfdisk
command.
cfdisk /dev/sda
Use this command: sudo parted /dev/sda
followed by print
. It outputs:
GNU Parted 3.2
Using /dev/sda

(parted) print
Model: ATA WDC WD10JPVX-60J (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 525MB 524MB primary ntfs
2 525MB 132GB 131GB primary ntfs boot
3 132GB 461GB 329GB primary ntfs
4 461GB 966GB 505GB extended lba
6 461GB 566GB 105GB logical ext4
5 566GB 896GB 330GB logical ntfs
7 896GB 966GB 70.0GB logical ext4
You can check if the partition is primary or extended from this. Hope this helps!
