getting thehard disk config in linux

[133tcamel]

how do I get the hard disk configuration of a remote server by using telnet..
is this a reliable way to detect a HDD config?

cat /proc/ide/hda1/model?

is there some command to tell this too? Also if the partitions are in /dev/hd* configuration does that mean its neccessarily an IDE drive (because I used to have /dev/sd* partitions when I had SCSI HDD), so I'm curious.

Any help, URLs, comments will be very much appreciated ---
cheers!

This will show you all of your partitions on all your disks...

fdisk -l


Yes, if it starts with /dev/hd*, then its IDE. SCSI disks will start with /dev/sd*.

hdparm -i /dev/hd? for specific IDE hard drive information.
