How to find disk info in Linux ?

I want to find out how many hard disks my machine has and how to find out information about each of them and the partitions they have. I am not able to locate /dev/rdsk directory as in Solaris or HP. What is the equivalent of diskinfo command (of HP-ux) in Linux ?

I am not sur what the command is but if you have gnome installed programs>system>systeminfo>Detailed info will do what you want. Or you could try cfdisk this is a graphical display of fdisk

Also dmesg will give you the addresses of all your disks and the brand and someother useful info but not partition info cat /proc/cpuinfo will give you your cpu info
