How can I check which partition contains Ubuntu intstallation, using Gparted while in live USB of Ubuntu?

Question

I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 installed on my machine.

Now I want to check from live USB using Gparted or the df command which partition contains my Ubuntu 16.04 installation.

I am getting a / value output under mounted on, aufs as coordinate parameters and i am not sure which partition aufs refers to.

Usually the partition of ext4 type contains Ubuntu. Also, the partitions beside which key can be seen indicates that these partitions are currently in use. Hope it helps :-) — Kulfy, Nov 07 '18 at 07:51
The kind of small key that show in GParted after sda2 and sda6. That means "locked" because in use. — , Nov 07 '18 at 07:58
Ubuntu is on sda2, Windows is on sda3, Games on sda4 and Movies on sda5. — C.S.Cameron, Nov 07 '18 at 08:33

The only partitions with enough used space to contain operating systems are sda2 and sda3.

Ubuntu does not install on NTFS so it must be on sda2.

Windows does not install on ext4 so it must be on sda3.

Just guessing about Games and Movies but the labels seem right.
