        How can I see the partitions of the phone in the PC, and read them?

          I have not been able to do this. I can see it as a device and view certain folders on an Ubuntu VM or Ubuntu PC.

          Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
          I have too many devices...

            You can't for many reasons.

            Now it doesn't mean you cannot access them, just that it's not like a raspberry pi.
            You'll have to give us context on what you're trying to do if you want to have some help.

              This link give useful info on android partitions:
              https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/info-android-device-partitions-and-filesystems.3586565/

              Being interested in this topic, I did this recently: listing the partitions on FP2 device with Ubuntu Touch OTA 22:

              • Connect FP2 to PC
              • on PC run: adb root (note: can be avoided, and may not work on some device like on FP3 for example)
              • then: adb shell

              in shell, list partitions with parted (because gdisk is not installed)
              run: parted -l (or run sudo parted -l if shell not in root)
              and for example I get this:

              root@ubuntu-phablet:~# parted -l
              Error: /dev/mmcblk0rpmb: unrecognised disk label
              Model: Generic SD/MMC Storage Card (sd/mmc) 
              Disk /dev/mmcblk0rpmb: 4194kB

                No really on the PC.
                But if that's what OP meant there is also possibility using SSH or even directly in the terminal of the device...
