gads:~/downloads$ df

gads:~/downloads$ mount
/dev/hdf2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hdf1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

So it looks like my root and home drive are on /dev/hdf2.
