NAME

      disk_stat - Show the details of a disk - LINUX ONLY

SYNOPSIS

      disk_stat [-V] hd_device

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.
