Seeing the device name by df, is it somehow possible to resolve it to the physical drive name such as vendor / type.

/dev/sda3               915.4G     34.9G    880.0G   4% /share/HDA_DATA

/dev/sdd3                 1.8T    668.1G      1.1T  36% /share/HDD_DATA

I have learnt that I find some info in sys/block, but I do not find the vendor's type name in there?

My system is a Linux based QNAP NAS, so things might be a little different there.

The QNAP NAS products run firmware that is essentially a custom Linux distro. It is quite spartan, with a minimal set of command line tools (and many of those provided by busybox). Fortunately, there is a decent implementation of hdparm in there, so you should be able to query a drive, as follows:

hdparm -I /dev/sda

Here's the output I get from a "QNAP TS-239 Pro NAS" with a "Western Digital RE4 1TB" drive (output is verbatim, except for the drive's serial number, which I have purposely obscured):

Checksum: correct

"Vendor" and "Type" are not explicitly reported by hdparm. However, "Model Number" is reported, and a quick web search on it should yield anything you need to know about a drive.

Most modern Linux systems use udev to manage devices. This isn't the case on all embedded devices though; I don't know whether this specific device uses udev.

udevadm info -n /dev/sda3 -a

udevadm info -n /dev/sda3 -q property

will print everything the system knows about /dev/sda3. This is the same info you'll find in /sys, but udev does the work of walking down the hierarchy to collect all the data.

Install gsmartcontrol a GUI tool with loads of information: http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/images/info_identity.png

gsmartcontrol (1)    - Hard disk drive health inspection tool

I had this problem too. I discovered command:

/sbin/get_hd_smartinfo

When run with out args prints usage guide.

To connect disk number to device use like this:

/sbin/get_hd_smartinfo -d 2 -i 1

Press ctrl-c to terminate and it will print "Save file to /tmp/sdX_smart_zzzzzzz" where sdX is your device.
