you can try df -k (Man df for options) which will give you free space and total spaces

Hi.

You can use:

Code:
$ getconf DISK_SIZE /dev/hdisk1

This shows the size in Megabytes.

depending on the storage subsystem, the driver may give you an answer too

for sddpcm drivers (IBM storage)

Code:
pcmpath query essmap

Code:
Disk        Path  P     Location   adapter      LUN SN       Type       Size   LSS    Vol   Rank  C/A   S   Connection  port RaidMode
-------     ----- -    ----------  --------    --------  ------------   ----   ---    ---   ----  ---   -   ----------- ---- --------
hdisk61     path0     06-00-02[FC] fscsi0   7XXXXXX0A6  IBM 2107-900 307.2GB    10    166   ffdc   29   Y   R1-B8-H1-ZA  700   RAID5
hdisk61     path1     06-00-02[FC] fscsi0   7XXXXXX0A6  IBM 2107-900 307.2GB    10    166   ffdc   29   Y   R1-B4-H1-ZA  300   RAID5
hdisk61     path2     04-00-02[FC] fscsi2   7XXXXXX0A6  IBM 2107-900 307.2GB    10    166   ffdc   29   Y   R1-B7-H3-ZA  630   RAID5
