dtype command in linux?
 

In unix (SCO), I know I know...., the command dtype shows the disk type. Is there a command in linux that is the same thing?

as root:

hdparm -I /dev/hda (or whatever disk) gives a helluva lot of info about the actual physical drive

fisk -l will give you partiont types

That what you mean?

Infact fdisk -l only tells you it's linux

but

mount

tells you curently mounted type

as will

cat /etc/fstab

give you a lot of info

well, here is a better description....
dtype -- determine disk type

Syntax
dtype [-s] device ...
Description
The dtype command determines the type of a disk and prints pertinent information on the standard output (unless the silent (-s) option is selected), then exits with a corresponding value (see below). When more than one argument is given for device, the exit value corresponds to the last argument.

You can use this for CD-Rom, floppy, or whatever.....
Ideas????
Or are those commands it....
