There is. (or rather will be. I think it might be in the pipeline). if you want to check it check http://pinus.tt.ltu.se/~baf/dkoll.tgz dkoll.c is cygwin source the rest is visual studio build by make dkoll dkoll.exe is the compiled cygwin version which gives on my system: $ ./dkoll Disk 0 cygwin=/dev/sda dsig a853000400000080 Disksize 18GB part len typ Disk 1 cygwin=/dev/sdb dsig a05f20122a744c01 Disksize 74GB part len typ 1 54MB 222 Dell system Dell 4.1 2 59GB 7 NTFS NTFS 3 502MB 12 FAT 32 (xp) MSWIN4.1 4 13GB 131 Linux Native ext3 LILO 5 996MB 130 Linux Swap SWAP Disk 2 cygwin=/dev/sdc dsig c282801c8e9ce5bf Disksize 115GB part len typ 1 115GB 131 Linux Native XFS Disk 3 cygwin=/dev/sdd dsig f99e600d8e82ca7b Disksize 55GB part len typ 1 55GB 7 NTFS NTFS Disk 4 cygwin=/dev/sde dsig 7de080005cf52c49 Disksize 2.0GB part len typ 1 2.0GB 131 Linux Native ext2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/dkoll $ so you get windows disk number. cygwin /ev/sdX disksize and partition size plus a good guess of what filesystem it has. NOT always perfect. The partition number is the the same as Y in /dev/sdXY Hope this helps. > > Thank you very much. > > Best Regards, > > Carlo > > -- > Carlo Florendo > Astra Philippines Inc. > www.astra.ph -- Bengt-Arne Fjellner 0910-58 53 69 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
