Disk naming on Linux

/dev/hda - master device on IDE channel 0
/dev/hdb - slave on IDE channel 0
/dev/hdc - master device on IDE channel 1
/dev/hdd - slace on IDE channel 1

There are a couple of commands you can use to partition and list partitions on Linux; parted and fdisk

[root@venus /]# parted /dev/hda print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0kB - 11GB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3 boot
2 107MB 11GB 11GB primary lvm

Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
Output of fdisk

[root@venus /]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
