Well not today, but i know it from memory to be :
size_of_it sda
size_of_it sda1
size_of_it sda2
size_of_it sda3
size_of_it sda4
...
size_of_it sdb
(notice that on my 2.3.42 box it is as follows :
luther@lambda:~/Travail$ more /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
3 0 8420832 hda
3 1 524632 hda1
3 2 262584 hda2
3 3 1048824 hda3
3 4 1 hda4
3 5 2097616 hda5
3 6 262552 hda6
3 7 262552 hda7
3 8 524632 hda8
3 9 262552 hda9
3 10 3174664 hda10
so the syjet would appear as
x x size_of_it sda
on this box, but it is not actually attached.
