I feel somewhat silly having to ask this. I must me missing something
searching with 'man -k'.
I'm looking for a way from the command line to determine the size (in MB or
GB) of a disk.
I have looked at prtvtoc and devinfo, but they seem to only give numbers
like 'blocks per cylinder', 'bytes per block', and number of cylinders. I
know I can do the math with those numbers and come up with those commands,
but I was hoping for something that I could do from the command line and
then just grep/awk what I needed from the output.
Is there command that will provide this information? I thought prtvtoc
might do it since with the 'format' command when you print the partition
table it will show you sizes by partition in gigabytes. If I could get that
output from the command line, I can grep/awk out what I need.
Any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Gene
