I had to do an audit of several machines for possible inclusion to a compute farm. There was a requirement as to the physical size of the disks installed.
To find this information, you can use the fdisk command which will list the physical size and partition information. I had to use root to get this information.
# /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 146.7 GB, 146778685440 bytes 255 heads, 32 sectors/track, 35132 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8160 * 512 = 4177920 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 64 261104 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 65 20624 83884800 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 20625 35132 59192640 83 Linux Disk /dev/cciss/c0d1: 146.7 GB, 146778685440 bytes 255 heads, 32 sectors/track, 35132 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8160 * 512 = 4177920 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 * 1 35132 143338544 83 Linux #
As you can see in this example; there are two drives which are 146.7 GB in size.
