Need Hard Disk Details

bharathiraja.yogi · 09-22-2010, 11:14 PM

Hi friends,
What is the command to find out the hard disk details (logical name, FS type etc,). Because i connected one ntfs partition and i don't know the hard disk logical and physical name to mount it.

Thanks | P.Bharathiraja.

"iostat -En" will give you some details about connected disks. eg:

Code:

# iostat -En

To get the partition table, you can use the the fdisk command that way, eg:

Code:

# echo "7" | fdisk /dev/rdsk/c9d0p0
             Total disk size is 19929 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                               Cylinders
      Partition   Status    Type          Start   End   Length    %
      =========   ======    ============  =====   ===   ======   ===
          1       Active    Linux native      0    12      13      0
          2                 Linux native     13   404     392      2
          3                 Linux native    405  19797    19393     97
          4                 EXT-DOS        19798  19928     131      1
...
