Hi:
In SunOS, the "format" command probe and show info about online disks.
Is there any tool in FreeBSD that can do similar thing?
<SunOS "format">
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. sd3 at esp0 slave 0
sd3: <Quantum_1.08G cyl 2110 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63>
Specify disk (enter its number):
</SunOS "format">
Furthermore, is it possible to "re-probe hardware" in multiuser-mode
like kernel do in boot-stage? I wish to get hardware info in multiuser-
mode.
<some-tool>
CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (200.46-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x562 Stepping=2
Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX>
real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes)
avail memory = 129781760 (126740K bytes)
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
...
</some-tool>
Although dmesg/syslog can show/log the info, the info would very likely
fade out after long uptime.
If anyone know the "some-tool" mentioned above, please let me know,
thanks.
