Try clicking the filesystem icon, can you find any of these folders/mount points

/ or lib/init/rw or /var/run or /var/lock or /dev or /dev/shm or /host

Yeah that's the mount points. Linux's filesystem can mount partitions anywhere in the filesystem...It one of its great features.

Just go to each mount point/folder and check its properties

Depends, some stuff has to be in certain folders/mount points for the system to use it correctly.

Here's a tutorial on Linux partitions

Thanks for your help. But I still don't understand it :/

I want to install CoD4 in Wine, but it says I don't have enough memory.
