? about storage...

**Leo Dragonheart** · March 17th, 2009

I have Mandriva 2008 and Ubuntu 8.10 installed on my computer and I was wondering I have all these storage places on my HD. Can someone tell me what they are for and if I can delete them? I know that HD-2 is my second installed HD but what are the rest? Thanx...

Give out the outputs of the following.. That could help us figure out.

Code:

sudo cat /etc/fstab

Code:

sudo cat /etc/mtab

Woah.. no idea! lol. See now, the 8.4G media is your root... and then that's it! That's all I could figure out. It's a strange scheme of partitioning. And none of them are set to be mounted automatically. Except root that is.
