lsdrv - Report on a system's disk interfaces and how they are used.

This script shows a system administrator the details of the block devices in a system, organized by subsystem and interface and displayed in a tree. Where possible, serial numbers and unique IDs are displayed in braces to document the setup. The hierarchy looks like:

Controller {serial} └─Physical Device {serial} └─Block Device {uuid} └─Partition {uuid} └─Layered Device {uuid} └─LVM Volume Group {uuid} └─LVM Logical Volume {uuid} └─Mount point

System utilities 'lspci' and/or 'lsusb' are used to describe the controller, with fallback to an abbreviated form of the sysfs path.

Sysfs properties and the system utilities 'ata_id', 'sginfo' and/or 'smartctl' are used to decribe the physical device.

Sysfs properties and the system utilities 'vol_id' or 'blkid' are used to describe the generic block devices and the partitions or other layered devices they contain (except for LVM).

System utilities 'pvs' and 'lvs' are used to describe block devices that are physical volumes in the LVM subsystem.

Missing utilities are noted, but the script attempts to continue without them.
