I use Linux distributions is CentOS7.0 version later,
When using fdisk -l, print the result is as follows:
In my understanding, fdisk -l this command system, is to see how many a hardware store and partition,
Display format is + hardware storage partitions on the device,

Now in the printing result shows in the form of hardware storage devices in the Disk/dev/mapper/cl - root, Disk/dev/mapper/cl - swap, Disk/dev/mapper/cl - home of the three partitions information,
This is why? This is not my three equipment hardware, just one partition on my hard drive,
/root @ localhost ~ # fdisk -l

Not so used, I generally is fdisk -l [device] so used, such as fdisk - l/dev/sda

CodePudding user response:

The LVM partitions have been became a disk, you can use these as disk partitions
It is listed here for

I also met the same question
