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
