I have partition names like Data-HD, Yhteinen and W10. I do have lots of other partitions, but I want a little more assurance I am copying a right partition to a correct destination. I am quite errorprone with "names" like /dev/sdbd1 etc.

How do I get partition names to show?

  • i'd recommend you to never use dd just to obtain partition name Commented Feb 7, 2016 at 10:20

fdisk -l or sfdisk -l will do the trick and blkid yourdevice can give you informations about the type, the uid and the filesystem on your device

  • with (s)fdisk, you have the partition list and for each partition blkid will give you the information... Commented Feb 7, 2016 at 11:54
  • You're right, lsblk is far more efficient Commented Feb 7, 2016 at 12:06
