In solaris I can rum format to look at disks, see their size, partitions
used and available, etc...... How do I do this on Linux(redhat 7.1)?

I have 2 disks sda and sdb, and look at the df output it appears that there
should be some unpartitioned space on these disks, but I cannot figure out
how to look for it.

fdisk -l /dev/sda /dev/sdb

man fdisk


Cheers, Daniel

Actually cfdisk /dev/sda and cfdisc /dev/sdb actually give you better
visibility as I just discovered.
