Is there a Linux command like cat /proc/cpuinfo that can show details of the hard drive(s).
Bob
Not sure what kind of details you are looking for, but there should be cat /proc/scsi/scsi
with df you can view info about your partitions
to view info about hardware make a:
[root@srv01 daniel]# dmesg grep sda
SCSI device sda: 143374650 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB)
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 143374650 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB)
My dead hard drive story::
This is the story of how I ressurrected my hard drive. I've now added additional information in this page of Frequently Asked Questions

SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
EXT3-fs: sda3: orphan cleanup on readonly fs
EXT3-fs: sda3: 39 orphan inodes deleted

This rule also applies for partitions, since partition information just presents the Data-recovery programs can see that data by scanning hard drive.
