New Tool: lsds – List All Linux Block Devices and Settings in One Place


When dealing with disks and I/O things on Linux, you’d regularly run commands like lsblk, lsscsi, nvme list, etc. All of them tend to report a different set of information, so I ended up running multiple commands and correlating their output based on the device name or number.
