In fdisk, printing a partition table gives the headers:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
What's a block? It does not seem to be defined anywhere. Perhaps an
update to the man page would be appropriate. A line in the explanation
above the partition listing would be even better.
On my system, a block appears to be 2-512 byte sectors, but is it always so?
