command to identify drives
 

Dear all,

Is there any command to identify the local drives in the machine,san drives and tape drives ...


Thanks

Most people use "fdisk -l". From the man page for fdisk

Code:

---

      -l    List the partition tables for the specified
              devices and then exit.  If no devices are given,
              those mentioned in proc/partitions  (if that exists)
              are used.

---

well you could type: dmesg - this shows the devices - and other things - that the operating system has detected.

you could also see what filesystems / devices are actually mounted by using the mount command with the right option (see man mount).

i dont know of a single command line statement, other than mount with the appropriate option, that will do this.
