Hi Charles:
If you looked at the df command as recommended you would see that the
command displays information about the amount of disk free space a
particular system has AND where it is located. There is also provided
an option -h, to provide details in "human" , as opposed to techie
readable form.
To simulate your situation I decided to stick a few items to my
powerbook which it normally doesn't have attached to it just to show
off this command and it's flexibility. I evoked the command from
within Terminal. Below is what occured:

automount -fstab [411] 0B 0B 0B 100%
/automount/Servers
automount -static [411] 0B 0B 0B 100%
/automount/static
Hopefully you know the name of your devices. On my system Dharma VI is
the firewire drive, the YDL install disk is a CD, and the SDDEVICE is
actually an 128MB SD card which my PDA uses (I have it installed into a
SanDisk reader which is attached to the powerbook; no special software
is necessary).
Things to consider make sure your Firewire drive connections are firm
and that the drive is on. Sometimes the simplest things overlooked
cause the most confusing results. Note that the Firewire drive appears
as /dev/disk2.
Best wishes...

In Mac OsX, the command
diskutil list
in the terminal produces an exhaustive list of disks (including CDROM,
Firewire, etc) and their partitions, but shows them under names such
as
/dev/disk0, etc, not suitable for Linux, that requires /dev/hda, etc.
Is there in Linux a tool working in the same way, that would supply
the
proper names?
Thanks for all hints.
Charles
