I have studied the help/usage for aaccli for quite a while, and I cannot figure out how to do two things: a) how can I determine the actual, real size of the disk ? For instance, I have some 36gig drives that are 36.8 gigs unformatted size, and some that are 36.4, and so on - if I want to buy a replacement drive to, say, rebuild a mirror, I have to get one that is the same size or larger - so how, in aaccli, can I see the actual unformatted size of that disk ? b) the type of disk it is ... this would be good enough that I wouldn't need (a), since I could just look it up on the `net. Is there a way to see the manufacturer ID string from aaccli - the string that I am shown in the BIOS and when the system boots ? thanks!!
