Is there a equivalent to "fdisk -l" in Linux?

I'm trying to get a output similar to "fdisk -l" in Linux, I've looked all over and I'm stuck. I just want to be able to see what flash drives or external HDD's are connected to my PC, partition info, stuff like that.

Thank you.
 
Right - just # fdisk for slices.

An alternative way to look at FreeBSD partitions is through # sysinstall. Go to Configure -> Label. (When finished, exit with 'Q'.)

For mounted filesystems, you can of course view them using % mount or % df -h
 
I think I got it, sorry for the late response, the in laws are here...

Seriously I think I understand it. I think the same commands different options, between fbsd and linux are really the biggest issue for me, but I certainly have been enjoying myself using this OS.

Ive got FBSD running on my Acer One pretty good.

No, no, no. Don't use sysinstall for anything, after the actual OS install has completed.

If you want a TUI interface, then use sade(8), or install sfdisk from ports.
 
Well, I respect your opinion but I disagree. :) The sysinstall method I mentioned is pretty and easy to read.

Have a look at sade, notice anything different? :e
 
Nope - it looks remarkably similar. And I appreciate the tip. :) But I also don't buy the "don't ever use sysinstall after installation" argument if it is convenient and you're careful.

But whatever. I have already argued over a trivial point enough in a thread that has already been satisfied.
