Yes I know, which is why I raised the query. I think that the package 
was originally named "disk-utils", but Kubuntu called it " disks" in 
12.04. It's a utility that looks at the disk hardware in a given machine 
and produces useful info regarding physical details of the disks, 
partitioning, file system formats etc..
