LSDASD(8)

📦 version 2.44.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 LSDASD(8) — like, the DASD listing era 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the lsdasd glow-up 💖 this one lives in the System Manager's Manual (section 8, very VIP), and she's here to show you your channel attached direct access storage devices — DASDs, if you're in the group chat 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lsdasd — list channel attached direct access storage devices (DASD). that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lsdasd  [-h]

lsdasd  [-a] [-b] [-s] [-v] [-l] [-c] [-u] [--version] [<bus-ID>
        [<bus-ID>] ...]

two whole moods, bestie. one is just -h, the other is the full main-character lineup 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The lsdasd command gives you the whole overview of the available DASD devices. like a vibe check, but for storage 🔥

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -h, --help — prints the help text. your lil "what does anything mean" button 🫶
  • -s, --short — suppresses the leading "0.0." for bus IDs. she's keeping it short and iconic 💅
  • -a, --offline — include all (offline) devices. no device left behind 😭
  • -b, --base — include only base devices. just the OGs ✨
  • -c, --compat — the old output of lsdasd, for compatibility. nostalgia core 🎀
  • -l, --long — extended output of lsdasd, including UID and attributes. she's giving detail, she's giving lore 👑
  • -u, --uid — the output includes UID, and it's sorted by UID. sorted, literally 🌈
  • -H, --host-acces — show information about all hosts using this device. (yes, that's spelled --host-acces in the man page, bestie — copy it exactly and don't @ me 🙈)
  • -v, --verbose — only for compatibility (and maybe future) use. this option currently does nothing. not me picking the outfit and then not going out 💀
  • --version — prints the version of the s390-tools package and the command. receipts, but the official kind ⭐
  • <bus-ID> = — the bus ID of the device(s) that should be displayed. like tagging people in the post 💜
lowkey important: -v is genuinely a no-op right now. it's not broken, it's just... resting 😌

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

the classic

lsdasd

list all devices that are online. simple. clean. ate 💅

the "I only care about these two" serve

lsdasd 0.0.0193 0.0.0195

same as above, but it'll only show data for the given devices (if they're online). selective, on brand 🌸
