    The command for Unassigned Space

    Hi,

    I want to know in windows we will go to disk Fragmentation to see the Unassigned space. In Linux/ Unix which command can we Use. I tried df -h, thats not the right answer. It shows the created partitions & the free space available in those Partitions.

    Can some one help....

    Regards,

    Shahid Khan

    Disk fragmentation??


    Taking it, you mean unpartitioned disk space, cfdisk is a lot like Windows fdisk (or vice versa ). Anyway, it lists the unassigned disk space.
    Can't tell an OS by it's GUI

    Welcome to the forums!

    Linux doesn't usually suffer from fragmentation problems so you won't find many if any defrag applications for it. I've been running Linux for about 9 years and have never defragged a Linux system.
