You will need to make a list of all partitions. Not sure what the best way to do this would be. Probably fdisk. Run fdisk, then type "p" (for printing the partition table), then leave it with "q". Be careful, as printing the table is only the least dangerous action in fdisk!

Another way that I prefer is

sfdisk -l

It's output can be saved in a file and it can even make copies of things (like partition tables) that can be fed back into it to recreate a disk if the info gets wiped. "Man sfdisk" for some enjoyable reading... well, for old farts like me that don't mind man pages for find, etc. ;-)
