I want to isolate the drives in /proc/partitions (i.e. sda, sdb, etc.) for
another task (something other than echo :) ) but my test either returns
nothing or everything and the kitchen sink, depending on whether I use a !=
or == comparator...
for disk in `cat /proc/partitions | awk '{print $4}'|sed '1,2d'`
> do
> if [ $disk == sd[a-z] ] then
> echo $disk
> fi
> done
I know the 'cat' line gives me the raw data I want, it's the filter below
that's broken. I know it has to be something painfully simple, they
typically are.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
