Disk Utility
When you open Disk Utility it gives you a list of physical disks attached to the computer and their related partitions. If you click on the physical disk and hit "Info" it will show you the "Disk Identifier", such as disk0, disk1, and so on The number increments as you attach more physical disks to the system. If you click on a partition you'll see that you get a Disk Identifier of disk0s3, disk0s4, or so on up with the second number. I don't know why it starts at 3, but it does, and it goes on up from there. (I just partitioned a disk into 6 partitions to check this.)
Actually...
The partitions seem to go up in odd numbers, and the disks aren't always consecutive. I have 4 disks attached right now and they are 0, 1, 3, 4. At any rate, the way to find the information is right. |
