By using fdisk with no parameters (maybe except which drive you wish to examine) it prints out all the partition information about that disk. That's for physical partitions on the drive. For FreeBSD slice information, the disklabel tool. Look in the man page for all the information on this tool. You can also use the newfs command to create a filesystem on that slice (look at the man page again). However, you can do much of this in the /stand/sysinstall utility. Hope that helps, Taylor Dondich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Srinivasa rao Vempati" <srvempati@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 10:08 AM Subject: How do I get IDE disk slice info > Hi, > Using dmegs i'm able to get IDE disk id's and their manufacturer info like > size. > But I partitioned IDE disk s.t. that it consists 2 slices , > now my problem is getting slice information like slice size .. > here one thing is I didn't formatted that slice > > can anybody help me > > thanx > srinivas > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
