Hi there.
Try the 'ioscan -fnC disk'.
It will show the devices and the type
like Seagate ST19171N or so.
Then you should be able to find out.

Hi,
There are many ways to see the disk size.
best is diskinfo as told by TG.
If the disk is a part of a vg then vgdisplay can tell u the size(Total PE * PE size).
Another method go to SAM then choose disk .It will show you disksize im megabites.
last option see your purchase order,delivery note etc. etc.

Also, (in case you are for some reason unable to run diskinfo...like maybe the disk is in your hand and doesn't have the size on the label) you can tell the size from the model number of Seagate disks. The first digit is the form-factor of the disk (1 is a 3.5" low-profle drive). The remaining digits, up to the letter suffix, are the raw disk size in kilobytes (in Alexander's case, 9171KB, so this would be a 9GB drive)

The letter suffix indicates the type of interface. This info is available on the Seagate website in a neat document, by the way.

Hey, this might come in handy sometime...

Regards,

Dave
