New to Archlinux. Got a question about partitions.

Hey I'm new to Archlinux but not new to the Linux community. I used Gentoo for the past year or so, (liked it alot) but honestly, got tired of waiting for everything to compile. Ha.

The ease of setting up Arch was awesome! I set up my laptop with a duel boot of Arch and Winxp for games. Got a question about disk usage.

My fstab is as follows:

/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

/dev/sda2 /boot reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / reiserfs defaults 0 1

Arch shows my /dev/sda1 (Win partition) in /media/disk. Which is fine, but when I go to the disk analyzer, this is what is showing.

*Big image*

I have the Windows partition using 50 gb (using 26.1gb as shown in the picture), and the rest for Arch. My question is how much disk space do I have left on my /dev/sda2,3, and 4 partitions.....Is the Windows data in my Arch partition? Or am I looking at the chart wrong?

Here's fdisk /dev/sda:

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x8f800000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        6616    53142988+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            6617        6678      498015   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            6679        6927     2000092+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4            6928        9729    22507065   83  Linux

Thanks guys!

Re: New to Archlinux. Got a question about partitions.

df -h

Enter that in a console window, and you will get the information you want

(the -h part is not necessary, but makes it easier to read)
