Is there any way to tell how many slots are in a machine and how many are occupied when you only have remote access to it via ssh (as root)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What sort of slots? hwinfo should give you information on most hardware details Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The kind found in computer motherboards into which you insert expansion cards.

Most of it indecipherable unfortunately. I was looking for something that might indicate what card is in what slots, and what slots are empty.

Perhaps hwinfo could get you the brand and type motherboard, lspci for what is in which slot, and manufacturer's website for how many slots are in a particular motherboard. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I am not sure there is a way to automatically determine how many free slots are in a system, but usually the command 'dmidecode' (look at the first 50 lines or so) will give you either the model of the prebuilt system or the model of the mainboard. With that you can use the 'lspci' command to determine all the PCI / PCI express devices and figure out which are onboard (e.g. built in Ethernet and sound controllers) and which are add-on cards. Keep in mind sometimes there can be a 1U system with 4+ PCI slots on the mainboard, but only 1 or 2 might be usable (unless you want to hack up the case and run it with the cover off) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
