Hi,
Great to see  your reply,
I would like to explain you in detail,
I am currently writing a java code which tries to find out the total

physical storage of an OpenBSD machine. Infact I would like to know the

complete partition table in an OPenBSD machine.
I have gone through the disklabel and fdisk command but both these command

take the device name as a parameter. So my first question would be to know

all the devices which are attached and may or may not be mounted. Once this

is obtained, I would run the above commands to get the information about

each device.
Or 
Is there any option which would directly give the complete physical storage

information.
