Description

Fact: blockdevice_<devicename>_size

Purpose:

Return the size of a block device in bytes.

Resolution:

Parse the contents of `/sys/block/<device>/size` to receive the size (multiplying by 512 to correct for blocks-to-bytes).

Caveats:

Only supports Linux 2.6+ at this time, due to the reliance on sysfs.
