disk_stat

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.


ARGUMENTS
       -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.
