    No, but you might be able to consult /proc/partitions. On my system, for
    example, I see the following:

    gr2130666:/home/gapinski # cat /proc/partitions
    major minor #blocks name

    Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
    DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.
    Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
      for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 155061/16/63).
    For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
    Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
