Get the size of my disks on several system

Question

Edit:
I have several machine and I need to get the total storage size of the main disk. The problem I have is that on some machine my disk have the name /dev/sda or /dev/md126p3. How could I reliably get the size of my disk on all those system.

Machine 1:

root@maximus:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md126p3     20G  3,6G   15G  20% /
/dev/md126p2   1008M   89M  868M  10% /boot
/dev/md126p1     99M  238K   99M   1% /boot/efi

Machine 2:

root@firefly:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3        30G  2,8G   26G  10% /
/dev/sda2      1008M   61M  896M   7% /boot
/dev/sda1        20M  132K   20M   1% /boot/efi

Machine 3:

Old question:

Using fdisk -l i am trying to get the full Sectors value. Using Debian OS. fdisk -l will show you alot of info. I am in need of figuring out a way to cut a specific word/number out of it. Basically, i need the biggest "Sectors" count there is. For my current machine.

 Device      Start         End     Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1    3072        6143        3072   1.5M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2    6144      506879      500736 244.5M Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3  506880 14064672767 14064165888   6.6T Linux filesystem

(This is also different on my other machines)

Then

 fdisk -l | grep Linux | tail -1 

Gives me /dev/sda3 506880 14064672767 14064165888 6.6T Linux filesystem Yet this is not the total that i need. I managed to cut this out on one of my machines, but i was not able to find a way to cut/grep out the "4th from the end"

On my test machine, i managed to this.

fdisk -l | grep Linux | cut -d " " -f3 | tail -1 | awk '{$1=$1/(1024^2); print $1;}' | awk '{print int($1+0.5)}' | awk '{ print $1"GB" }' 

Answer 1

If you want to get the size of the disk you can take the value:

cat /sys/block/sda/size

To identify the main partition I would say you can do something like this :

 df | grep -E "\/$" | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed 's/[0-9]*//g'

This will give you the name of the disk mounted / in my case /dev/sda.
After up to you how you want to script it.

Old answer

In this case, I would simply use /sys:

cat /sys/block/sda/subsystem/sda3/size 

which gives numbers of sectors and I would use :

cat /sys/block/sda/subsystem/sda3/start

to get the start sector number.

It would be way easier than parsing fdisk which is not always exactly the same. It would be easy to get those value with a simple pattern:

cat /sys/block/sda/subsystem/sda*/size

Answer 2

try

fdisk -l | awk '/Linux/ { s=$(NF-4) ;} END { print s}'

where

• /Linux/ will select Linux line
• { s=$(NF-4) ;} set 4th field from last (you might also use $4 in this case.
• END at the end (no more input)
• { print s} print it.

Edit:

• your grep ..| cut .. | awk^n code can be shortern to

  awk '/Linux/ { s=$4/(1024^2)  ;} END { printf "%d Gb\n",s}'
  

• sector are usualy 512 bytes, you may need to add another /2 (divide by 2) to get Gb.

Answer 3

Using awk :

To get the highest sector value :

fdisk -l | awk '$6=="Linux" && v < $4{v=$4}END{print v}' 

Answer 4

instead of passing the block device to df you can also pass the mount point. actually that's the default behaviour

# df /
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        8191416 6002396   2088840  75% /

source: df manpage:

df displays the amount of disk space available on the file system containing each file name argument.
