IMHO a better way to sort out what file systems have been mounted is to
use the command:
df -vh
Or:
mount
which lists everything that's currently mounted.
That should tell you which devices are mounted, where they are mounted,
and how much space is available and used.
Compare that with the output of
fdisk -l
and you should have a complete picture of what partitions have been
defined and which ones have been formatted and mounted.
