the command 'df' may help....this shows the partitions and there size and usage stats....

'df --help' for more options

df -h would provide you with the size of the mounted partitions. If you do a hdparm -I <device> (device could be /dev/hda or something similar) you will get a lot of info, but important in this case is the Configuration section, where you can find the physical capacity of the drive.

Code:

Configuration:
        Logical         max     current
        cylinders       16383   4047
        heads           16      16
        sectors/track   63      255
        --
        CHS current addressable sectors:   16511760
        LBA    user addressable sectors:   90069840
        device size with M = 1024*1024:       43979 MBytes
        device size with M = 1000*1000:       46115 MBytes (46 GB)
