pdisk is a buggy program; you shouldn't use it. Instead please try GNU
parted, which is significantly more robust and has many more features.
As an aside, running 'find /' doesn't usually make sense except as a hard
disk stress test. Try using 'locate', which will also return results much
faster. :)

rpm comes in handy here. Try 'rpm -q parted' for example (or -qi if you want
more information).
