## Partition Information

This page displays information about partitions on your hard drives.

The exact information displayed is system-dependent. On some systems, partition information cannot be displayed yet.

On &Linux;, this information is read from `/proc/partitions`, which is only available if the `/proc` pseudo-filesystem is compiled into the (2.1.x or later) kernel.

The first two columns are the major and minor numbers respectively. The third column is the number of blocks (usually 1 block = 1024 bytes). The fourth column is a label for the device.

The user cannot modify any settings on this page.
