Disk Size and Usage

[tavi]

Hi,

Is there a way to know from the GUI, what is the size of my disk?

All I see is the usage in %. But I need to know what is the size of my disk.

I never noticed but I could not find it from clicking around. You might well be right.
I am normally on consoles, maybe that's why. If you're in a pinch whilst someone tells where in the UI to look, just drop to a shell and

$gpart show will list your disks and their properties, including the media size & partitions.

If you install the os-smart plugin you can go and find the Info for each drive using the smartctl command via the GUI. It will give you data like this:

Or the os-hw-probe plugin.

Thank you all!

I needed a GUI option, so I installed os-smart, it gives me the info I need.

But I can swear that in the past I was able to see my disk on the dashboard.
