disklabel(8) and df(1) should give you most of what you need. They'll 
certainly tell you about partitions, used/free space, etc . As for time of 
creation, I don't know of anything that will tell you that. I'd be surprised 
if that was information that was available, it doesn't seem like the kind of 
thing a filesystem needs to know.

it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen, 
once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything 
practical done again. To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or 
something like that. - jwz
