For backup reasons I would like to get a statement of the slices on a  
disk.  fdisk only tells me about classic partitions.  Is there some  
command I can use to remind me of how I sliced that partition?

The best (and a poor approximation it is) I can come up with is to  
use df to tell me the sizes of my non-swap slices.  There must be a  
simple way to do this.
