Hard drive question

[Jeffrey A. McCright]

You might also use hdparm to see some very specific info about the drive
such as DMA support, etc...

Example:

	hdparm -i /dev/hda

will yield firmware levels, model and serial numbers, Configuration data,
Current translation info, DMA and PIO modes supported, etc...

Thanks,

Jeff McCright

Subject: Hard drive question

I have a friend working with a Linux system that keeps having
hard drive crashes. (bad batch of drives?) Anyway, is there a
quick command to check and see if the system is recognizing the
new drive? I know there is, but can't pull it out of my feeble
brain...

Thanks
