lsblk

lsblk [options]

lsblk [options] device...

lsblk lists information about all or the specified block devices. The lsblk command reads the sysfs filesystem to gather information.

The command prints all block devices (except RAM disks) in a tree-like format by default. Use lsblk --help to get a list of all available columns.

-a, --all

List all block devices.

-b, --bytes

Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format.

-d, --nodeps

Don't print device holders or slaves. For example "lsblk --nodeps /dev/sda" prints information about the sda device only.

-D, --discard

Print information about the discard (TRIM, UNMAP) capabilities for each device.

-e, --exclude list

Exclude the devices specified by a comma-separated list of major device numbers. Note that RAM disks (major=1) are excluded by default.

-f, --fs

Output info about filesystems. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT". The authoritative information about filesystems and raids is provided by the blkid(8) command.

-h, --help

Print a help text and exit.

-i, --ascii

Use ASCII characters for tree formatting.

-m, --perms

Output info about device owner, group and mode. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,SIZE,OWNER,GROUP,MODE".

-l, --list

Use the list output format.

-n, --noheadings

Do not print a header line.

-o, --output list

Specify which output columns to print. Use --help to get a list of all supported columns.

-P, --pairs

Use key="value" output format.

-r, --raw

Use the raw output format.

-t, --topology

Output info about block device topology. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,ALIGNMENT,MIN-IO,OPT-IO,PHY-SEC,LOG-SEC,ROTA,SCHED".

For the partitions are some information (e.g. queue attributes) inherited from parental device.
