.Nd get information about disk device

.Ar disk ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility prints out information about a disk device,
|
|
and optionally runs a naive performance test on the device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If given no arguments, the output will be a single line per specified device
|
|
with the following fields: device name, sectorsize, media size in bytes,
|
|
media size in sectors, stripe size, stripe offset, firmware cylinders,
|
|
firmware heads, and firmware sectors.
|
|
The last three fields are only present if the information is available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If given the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option, the fields will be printed one per line with a descriptive comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
option triggers a simple measurement of the I/O read command overhead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option triggers a simple and rather naive benchmark of the disks seek
|
|
and transfer performance.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.1 .
