List all devices, partitions and volumes in Powershell

Question

I have multiple volumes (as nearly everybody nowadays): on Windows they end up specified as C:, D: and so on. How do I list these all like on a Unix machine with \"ls /mnt/\" wi

Answer 1

We have multiple volumes per drive (some are mounted on subdirectories on the drive). This code shows a list of the mount points and volume labels. Obviously you can also extract free space and so on:

gwmi win32_volume|where-object {$_.filesystem -match "ntfs"}|sort {$_.name} |foreach-object {
  echo "$(echo $_.name) [$(echo $_.label)]"
}

Answer 2

Though this isn't 'powershell' specific... you can easily list the drives and partitions using diskpart, list volume
