Hello,
The Linux fstat() doesn't return any information number of blocks,
or the byte-length of a physical hard disk.
Device name : /dev/hda
Device st_dev : 00000301
Device st_rdev : 00000300
Device st_size : 0
Device st_blocks : 0
Device st_blksize : 4096
Device name : /dev/sda
Device st_dev : 00000301
Device st_rdev : 00000800
Device st_size : 0
Device st_blocks : 0
Device st_blksize : 4096
Device name : /dev/sdb
Device st_dev : 00000301
Device st_rdev : 00000810
Device st_size : 0
Device st_blocks : 0
Device st_blksize : 4096
Device name : /dev/sdc
Device st_dev : 00000301
Device st_rdev : 00000820
Device st_size : 0
Device st_blocks : 0
Device st_blksize : 4096
So, in a PORTABLE way, how do I find the block device with a
certain size, perhaps even the largest or smallest? I need to
have a customer plug in an external drive (USB) and be able
to determine if it's big enough for a raw-data write (no
file-system).
Cheers,
Dick Johnson
