Sure, I'd even say "almost always" for recent disks. Still, they count in GBs, not sectors.
OTOH it would be great if they say "xxx,xxx,xxx 512-byte sectors", and maybe "approx. X GB". -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
