DESCRIPTION
+
      disk_stat  works  in  only Linux and uses ATA commands to query a hard-
+
      disk.  The important information that it currently gives is the  actual
+
      number  of  sectors  and if there is a Host Protected Area (HPA) on the
+
      disk.
+
 
+
      The options are as follows:
+
 
+
      -V    Display version
+
 
+
      hd_device
+
              The device corresponding to the  hard  disk.  Typically  it  is
+
              /dev/hdX.
+
 
+
EXAMPLES
+
      disk_stat /dev/hdd
+
 
+
HISTORY
+
      disk_stat first appeared in The Sleuth Kit v1.73.
+
 
+
      It is based on code from http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/setmax.c
+
 
+
LIMITATIONS
+
      disk_stat works  only  in  Linux and does not support large disks. It
+
      will also not work on ATA disks connected with USB or Firewire.
