Hi Folks,

    How can I get the information of...
1. the no. and type of hard disk my linux system recognizes.
2. hard disk information like, its serial number, etc.

  ...through a command that does not require root privileges, like the
kind of information we get on Solaris thro' 'iostat -En'.

Are the commands different for different flavors of linux (Redhat,
SuSe, etc.)?

Thanks for any help,
jsb_bh
