I have been done this a while ago, it's bad, but it works for me even with the
problems that this script have.
#!/bin/sh
# BEGIN
fdisk=$(which fdisk)
case "$1" in
scsi)
$fdisk -l | grep dev | gawk -F' *' '{ print $1 }' | gawk -F'/dev/' '{
print $0 }' | grep '/dev/sd' > particiones.txt
MSG="Se han detectado un total de $(cat particiones.txt | wc -l)
particiones a escanear"
echo $MSG del tipo $1
for particion in $(cat particiones.txt)
do
detecta2=$($fdisk -l | grep $particion | grep + | gawk -F'+' '{ print
$2}' | gawk -F' ' '{ print $2 }')
detecta3=$($fdisk -l | grep $particion | grep + | gawk -F'+' '{ print

echo "Detectando tipo de particion $1 para $particion: $detecta2 con
