Hi. When I do “sudo fdisk -l” from live usb I get partitions but they say “Linux Filesystem” and don’t know wich of them is the root one. Anyone know a command line or something for this issue?.
I’m following these steps: Fedora Quick-docs Article
Thanks.

Sometimes you just have to mount them and see.

i.e.:

# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
# ls /mnt
# umount /mnt
... repeat as necessary

To avoid needing to do that, I like to label my partitions.

i.e.:

# sgdisk -c 1:boot@a /dev/sda
# sgdisk -c 2:root@a /dev/sda
# sgdisk -p /dev/sda
# sgdisk -p /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 1875385008 sectors, 894.3 GiB
Model: SanDisk Ultra II
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 91174D70-39C1-47F7-B809-CB406AAA5490
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1875384974
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
