View partitions

Cesar Herrera

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.

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

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...
