[Bug 674611] Re: fdisk -l only shows blocks and not the size andor blocksize of each partition

[Phillip Susi]

fdisk knows nothing about the filesystem's blocksize, it's blocks are
always 1k.


** Summary changed:

- fdisk -l only shows blocks and not the size andor blocksize of each partition
+ fdisk -l should show size in human readable units

** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

Title:
  fdisk -l should show size in human readable units

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  If a user has more than one partition of the same type with different blocksizes it is impossible to tell the difference.
  Please let fdisk show the size in bytes,KiBs,MiBs, GiBs, TiBs or PiBs, thank you.
