Sorry for the n00b question, I'm a Solaris guy by trade.

On Redhat ES 4 how can I see the hard drive model and other drive
information from the command line?

Solaris shows this information at the "format" command.

Thanks much!

I did find one way to do it.

cat /proc/ide/hda/model
WDC WD2500YD-01NVB1

Is there another way? There's always two ways to skin a unix cat.


hdparm ?



hdparm -i /dev/sda1
