partition informations - running some tests

[MU]

can you help me?
I need some people (5 should be enough at moment) who do this:
please type:

cat /proc/diskstats >/root/mark-help.txt
probepart >> /root/mark-help.txt
gzip /root/mark-help.txt

Then please attach /root/mark-help.txt.gz here.


I'm doing some tests to find out a fast way to get drive-infos.
probepart is a bit slow, if you have many partitions.

I wrote a testcript, that gives me this result:

# ./finddisks
hda1 not mounted
hda2 not mounted
hda5 not mounted
hda6 not mounted
hdb mounted maybe a cdrom
sda1 not mounted
sda2 mounted
sda3 not mounted
sda4 not mounted
sda5 not mounted
sda6 not mounted
sda7 mounted
sda8 not mounted
sda9 not mounted
sda10 not mounted
sda11 not mounted
sda12 not mounted
sda13 not mounted
sda14 not mounted
sda15 mounted
swap: /dev/sda15 partition 522072 6132 -1

I'd like to find out more info, but don't know yet, how.
Must study the other utilities like MUT.

I have two computers. Here is the first, an HP Pavilion zv6000 with a CD/DVD, 80Gig HD, two 8Gig USB sticks.

[NathanO]

Here is the other, home made, 3-1/2" floppy, ~40 Gig HD, TWO CD/DVD player / burners, 2 PCMCIA Flash Cards, 4 Gig USB stick

[John Doe]

Here you go Mark. Machine has two CD Drives, a Floppy Drive and two usb flash drives plugged in. No internal IDE in this one.

[oldbox]

I had a sony tiny microvault plugged into an external usb hub at the time of the commands.

Hope this helps you.

Here we go Mark -

HTH..

hda = dvd-rw
sda = 80-gig SATA drive
sdb = 128 mb usb flash drive

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# ./finddisks
sda1 not mounted
sda2 not mounted
sda3 not mounted
sda4 mounted
sda5 mounted
sda6 mounted
sda7 mounted
sdb1 mounted
swap: /initrd/dev/sda2                        partition 498004  0       -1
sh-3.00# 

Except sdb1 is not mounted anymore. It was not very long ago. Otherwise all looks correct.

Running Puppy 2.14 if it matters.

Many thanks, I'll have a look at your files this weekend.
Today I must travel to northern germany.

Here is another code-example.

Using fdisk -l is the fastest you can have.
It does does not show the difference ext2/ext3, it just says "Linux".
So we might need blkid.
Also fdisk does not show CDRoms.
As blkid is slower, I will try to find other ways.
Maybe using /proc again for infos about CDROMS.
For this your files will be helpfull, to see what special identifier those CDROM-drives use.

See you, Mark

From one of our school computers. Running from usb-flash-drive. Windows XP on the builtin hdd.

[JustGreg]

Here is the information from my system running a 80 Gigabyte drive,
1 Gigabyte USB external hard drive, 1 Gigabyte compact flash device and 2 Gigabyte SD card in the USB mult-card reader.

Here is the information for 3 machines I have here. One is incomplete but I hope it helps anyway.

I updated my script.
It gave wrong values on one computer:

Code: Select all

/dev/sda1   *           1        1216     9765625    b  W95 FAT32

the "*" bootflag now is filtered out.

It also no longer uses /proc/ to find out, if a drive was mounted, but /etc/mtab.
The code got shorter now.
Another issue was, that Extended partitions were no detected (excluded) correctly.
Only the second line in this "fdisk -l" output was detected:

Code: Select all

/dev/hda2             679        1559     6660360    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda4            3648       24316   166015625    5  Extended

This is corrected now.

The swappartitions are shown as "unmounted", what is wrong.
I must add a fix for that.

[MU]

updated code.

run with option "-all" to show cdroms (they start with "-").
DVDs not yet added.
This was just tested on 1 machine, so might not work reliable.
It is optional, because cdrom-detection is slow.

Also swap now is displayed as on or off.

And or mounted drives, the mountpoint is displayed.
