I'd make that statement stronger. My starting point was Gparted displays *ALL* the desired information for *ALL* members of the set [ /dev/sd* ] whether mounted or not. That PROVED that what I wanted was possible. It's "suitability to purpose" was degraded on *2* counts: 1. it does not output the data as a text file. 2. it displays information for only 1 device at a time. > Given that the source code of Gparted is published, we do not > have to speculate how it does this, but rather can riddle over its C++ code.
