The command sudo fdisk -l should be issued to verify the device name of the partition. The sudo command allows the administrator to run commands as the superuser or another user. The fdisk command is a tool for manipulating disk partitions on Linux systems. The -l option lists the partitions on all disks or a specific disk. The command sudo fdisk -l will show the device names, sizes, types, and other information of the partitions on all disks.
