Which option for df will give you the physical size of the hard

man df and df --help didn't give me any insight.
As already said in this thread. Use utilities such as fdisk. Or
check what kernel reported during boot (in /var/log/messages). Or
see the content of /proc/ide/hd*/capacity (for IDE drives).
"df" shows information about file systems. Not partitions. Not
disks. It doesn't know anything about the hardware on which file
system resides (which in general doesn't need to be disk based, and
can be virtual or abstracted by several levels of whatever).
It had been stated by 2 different people that df would return this
information, the second one after it had been shown wrong. I was
hoping that the people making this claim would make an attempt to
explain that they had misread the original question.
