List all disk drives on system

How do I list all the disk drives on my system? Including the size.
I have LVM running, and I can find out how big the Volume group is, but what I would like is a quick list of all the drives, both internally, and in my disk array.

The command is:

fdisk -l

No it does not list the drives
Disk /dev/sdd: 1199.9 GB, 1199906488320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 145880 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 1 145880 1171781068+ 8e Linux LVM


I have numerous drives that make up a tera byte worth of space

$ df -h
$ mount

Do you want to list mounted filesystems, or all hardware regardless of whether they are mounted or formatted?

Re: List all disk drives on system

It looks to me like sdd is a volume on a disk array. You'll need to use whatever management software your array supplies to query the physical drives. All the OS will really see and work with is the volume the array presents.

/proc/partitions will display all detected disks and all filesystems on them, plus all LVM logical volumes, md RAID devices and the like.

To filter out the partitions... how about filtering out every line that ends with a number:

$ grep -v '[0-9]$'
major minor #blocks name

8 0 156290904 sda
8 16 160836480 sdb
8 32 500472 sdc
