Or simply reading /etc/mtab or perhaps /proc/mounts (this one is
linux-specific, I think), rather than spawning a process.

Best yet!

import os
fh = file('/proc/partitions')

fh.readline() # eat the header
fh.readline() # eat the blank line

partitions = [line.split()[-1] for line in fh.readlines()]
print partitions

Re: Partition names with Python
 

Hi,

But some machines /proc/partition file is empty..
But /etc/fstab contain drives names..(sda1,sda2,cdrom,floopy etc)

For Example My Server(Slackware 9)'s /proc/partition file contain nothing.
I must take partition names on all Linux(Redhat,Mandrake,Slackware etc)..

Why do some machine's /proc/partition file contain nothing...

Erhan,

Yes, you have to compile it to kernel.

The best choice is /etc/mtab, imho.
