8.2. The Partitions on Local Disks Module

All disk partition management in Webmin is done using the Partitions on Local Disks module, which can be found under the Hardware category. When you enter the module, a page showing all hard disks and partitions found on your system will be displayed, as shown in Figure 8.1.

All IDE and SCSI disks are shown, along with their manufacturers and model numbers. If your system has a hardware RAID controller that is supported by the module, the RAID devices will be shown instead of the actual underlying hard disks that make them up. Disks and partitions used for software RAID will be shown, but not the logical or virtual drives that they have been combined into.

For each disk, all partitions on it will be listed showing their type, start and end cylinders and current mount point, or other use. If the partition contains a filesystem, the amount of free disk space will be displayed as well. If a partition is being used for software RAID, the raid device that it is part of will be shown. Similarly, if a partition is part of an LVM volume group, the group name will be displayed under the Use column.
