Which hard disk drive is which?
- by djeikyb
I want to know which hard disk drive corresponds to which device path. It's trivial to match the hard disk stats (brand, size) with the dev path, but I want more. I want to know which drive is which inside my case. What's a good way to go about getting this info?
I would prefer not to tear apart my server to remove all the drives, then add back one by one.
I am willing to preform reboots.
The drives are inconveniently scrunched together in the case. The label information is hidden.
I can open the case. Most disks are SATA, so theoretically hot swappable. So, Unplugging and tracing cables might help in answering.
