it will have /dev/vda if it's KVM with Virtio
If your VPS is a OpenVZ VPS you have no real disk nor real partitions.
There are no real rules as to what partition may contain your root filesystem on Linux. If it's a full virtualization platform, give it a
cat /proc/mountsto get an idea of how it is set up.Hi,
You can also run
lsblkprovided in util-linux-ng packageSample output.

Well, OpenVZ VPS are just containers on the hostnode. So no real virtual disk nor any partition.
VMWare is hardware virtualization and has depending on the added disk mostly sda.
