lsblk - list block devices
SYNOPSIS
lsblk [options]
lsblk [options] device...
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS-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.

lent to "-o NAME,ALIGNMENT,MIN-IO,OPT-IO,PHY-SEC,LOG-
SEC,ROTA,SCHED".

ited from parental device.
