Let's say I have this virtual machine running:

[root@centos ~]# fdisk -ul

Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders, total 16777216 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63      417689      208813+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2         2522205    13799834     5638815   83  Linux
/dev/sda3        13799835    16771859     1486012+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda4          417690     2522204     1052257+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5          417753     2522204     1052226   82  Linux swap /     Solaris
 
Partition table entries are not in disk order
[root@centos ~]#

How can I know how much free space left for more partitions on the disk? thanks :)
