ideinfo -- Command Display information of an IDE hard-disk drive ideinfo [-c] /dev/at?? The command ideinfo displays information about device /dev/at??, which names a partition on an IDE hard disk. For example, command ideinfo /dev/at0a displays information about the first IDE drive on your system (drive 0). Among other things, this command displays the disk's manufacturer, the number of cylinders, header, sectors, and the number of bytes per sector on the disk. Option -c tells ideinfo also to display how the device is partitioned. See Also at [device driver], commands Notes This command fails if the device is not an IDE hard drive.
