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.
