Overview

Windows → Linux context
What changes when you use this on Linux?
Equivalent task, different tool
Windows diskpart list volume maps to lsblk -f for this task. Treat this as a workflow mapping rather than a character-for-character syntax translation.
Portable across the compared distros
The Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch rows use the same command in this mapping. Package availability or defaults can still vary, so check the installed tool version when an option behaves differently.
For the broader concept behind this mapping, read Linux disks, storage and mounts.
