Hard Drive capacity

twantrd · 10-12-2004, 12:57 AM

Hi there,

Is there a command that will display a hard drive's full capacity size? I mean, output of a 'df -h' command yields:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4 5.4G 1.2G 4.0G 22% /
/dev/hda2 273M 132M 128M 51% /home
/dev/hda1 7.6M 4.6M 2.6M 64% /boot

From calcuting the 'Size' column, this drive has a total capacity of 5.5GB. However, I don't want to calculate

. Is there a command that will tell you that? Thanks...

Hello.

fdisk -l (that is a lowercase L

)

If you just run fdisk -l it will give you the size of each of your disks, if you have a whole bunch of disks you could run say fdisk -l /dev/hda and that will give you just the size of that single hard drive.

Good luck

Hi,

twantrddeb:~# fdisk -l
twantrddeb:~#

That's all it shows. If I did fdisk -l /dev/hda then it prints out the geometry of the disk. Any other ideas?
