Listing partitions names and mount points

Question

I'm trying to get list of partitions and their mount points in terminal, but I'm not so succesfull.

"ls -l /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/” (found this path by using "cat /proc/mounts" but it return me a 'permission denied, I guess I need root, but I don't have one. So how to get partitions names and mount points without root? Also there is one weird thing: when I go with Total commander in /dev folder there isn't /block folder inside just file named 'block' with size 0 and not readable (becase lack of root). How is that possible?

No way without root? Ok. Do you know anything about not existing /block folder? — Једноруки Крстивоје, Jan 18 '17 at 20:50
It exists, you just can't properly enumerate the contents of /dev/ without root. I get "Permission denied" when running ls /dev, guessing your kernel/filesystem just behaves slightly differently. — Matthew Read, Jan 18 '17 at 23:22

@Izzy the thing is I lack the root. That is a problem, other commands from link doesn't return me anything or says command not found. — Једноруки Крстивоје, Jan 19 '17 at 00:11
Yeah, see above what Matthew wrote, right? Without root the best you get are "pieces of the puzzle", but not the "complete picture". — Izzy, Jan 19 '17 at 15:21

Type in mount to a terminal emulator, root not required.

Lists all mount points active, note: mine is very long due to many bind mounts.

Or alternatively

Type grep /etc/recovery.fstab

It doesn't give me the boot and recovery partitions. – Једноруки Крстивоје Jan 18 '17 at 23:13

@ЈеднорукиКрстивоје isn't that what you wanted? – Ben Baltz Jan 19 '17 at 00:14

It doesn't show mount point for them, that's the problem – Једноруки Крстивоје Jan 19 '17 at 01:16
@ЈеднорукиКрстивоје boot is mounted to / and recovery isn't mounted when booted. – Ben Baltz Jan 19 '17 at 01:36
boot and recovery are raw partitions, they don't have a mountable filesystem. Both contain kernel binary and ramdisk at fixed offsets and a header according to the format standardized by Google. On non-SAR devices ramdisk is mounted at /. – Irfan Latif Mar 01 '20 at 16:42
