Hi,

I am using Red Hat 8.0.
Can someone help know how to find the:
===================================
"spindle speed of Hard disk in RPM".
===================================

using the command hdparm as shown below

$/sbin/hdparm -t -T /dev/hda
----------------------------
returns
|| Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.33 seconds = 96.52 MB/sec
|| Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.04 seconds = 21.07 MB/sec

This is not what I am looking for. Further, how do I avoid using
/dev/hda, as I cannot be sure that it is hda or hdb or something else.

Thanks and regards,
Pankaj
