Wait, is this a trick question? I bet the answer is 'all of the above' - Linux has so many ways to check this stuff!

Partprobe sounds like it could do the job, but I'm not familiar with that one. Gotta love learning new Linux commands!

Hey, I heard blkid can show info about block devices, so that might be the answer here.
