devices in Linux

dmidecode

  • gives you a lot of information about bus and bios

I/O analisys

  • vmstat
  • iostat
  • vopstat
  • sysstat (package)
  • iotop
    • kernel "unusual" options needed
    • CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING: is not set when it should be.
    • CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT: is not set when it should be.
    • CONFIG_TASKSTATS: is not set when it should be.

udev

  • udev manages the /dev filesystem interacting with the kernel and its modules
  • disk conncted through udev
ls -lR /dev/disk
  • udev information dump
udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb/

lshal

  • commang to list the whole Hardware Abstraction Layer
 Processor DRAM Controller'  (string)
  pci.product_id = 64  (0x40)  (int)
  pci.subsys_product_id = 64  (0x40)  (int)
  pci.subsys_vendor = 'Intel Corporation'  (string)
  pci.subsys_vendor_id = 32902  (0x8086)  (int)
  pci.vendor = 'Intel Corporation'  (string)
  pci.vendor_id = 32902  (0x8086)  (int)

Hard disk naming

  • behind the hard disks naming, as WD3200JD, there's lot of info about the device:
http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?showtopic=22131
Sample: WD3200JD-00KLB0
Formula: AAbbbbCD-eeFGHi

AA = WesternDigital

bbbb = Capacity in 100MB units (GBx10)

C = Cache(buffer) size and drive's purpose:
* Desktop drives: B=2MB, J=8MB, K=16MB
* Enterprise drives 7200rpm: S=8MB, Y=16MB
* Enterprise drives 10000rpm: G=8MB, A=16MB

D = Interface and some other specs:
* B=ATA, D=SATA150, S=SATA300, R=SATA150(RaidEdition2), H=SATA150(Window)

ee = Vendor code (probably):
* 00=general consumers, 01=general enterprise, 22=promotional(?),
* 07/08/11/14/23/32/40/41/50/55/56/57/58/60/75/88/98=unknown (of them 55 is pretty much used)

F = May be related to platters (needs more research)

G = ??? (needs more research)

H = Related to interface/firmware and something more (needs more research):
* A=ATA(Caviar over 100GB)/ATAandSATA(Caviar below 100GB), B=SATA(Caviar over 100GB), C=ATAandSATA(Caviar,    newer updates), A/C/R=Generation(RaptorSATA), T=LaptopDrive

i = Firmware version (probably):
* 0/1/2=larger is newer (if the preceeding letter is same).
