Diskutil

Welcome to my extension! I hope you like it :)

If you have any ideas, just open a feature request or issue on Github via the Raycast Store page.

Functionality

The usage is fairly intuitive. Each disk has multiple actions in Raycast which are self-explanatory and change based on the type and status of the disk/volume. Just try it!

It supports a variety of diskutil-related commands, like unmount, eject, EFI partition mounting, and more. All with shortcuts and a GUI.

Some highlights are

• Quick overview of all disks, volumes, and partitions including identifier, name, size, capacity, and mount status
  • Several views available for viewing sizes, toggleable via CMD+. (UX/UI improvement feedback welcome)
• Detailed information for each disk (automatically parsed from diskutil info)
  • Switchable to alternative info from diskutil info -plist which shows more information including SMART data
• Mounting of EFI partitions through an automated sudo workflow

It does not support disk formatting, partitioning, or other destructive write actions. However, it is easy to select a disk and switch to the terminal via CMD+T for manual diskutil commands.

Approach

This extension is basically a combination of the terminal command diskutil with some regex and plist parsing.

It's probably not the most performant approach, but it provides all the information from diskutil list and diskutil info with added functionality and a user-friendly interface.

Known Issues

• The extension is not very performant, especially with HDDs, due to the nature of fetching data from the command-line diskutil list command.
• SD cards inserted into the internal card reader are reported as internal disks.
