[Bug 1431178] Re: handling image on ntfs: "Error 38 when determining sector size! Setting sector size to 512"

[Roderick Smith]

GPT fdisk relies on OS calls to determine the sector size, which is
vitally important for interpreting GPT data structures. It appears that
the NTFS-3g driver that Ubuntu uses is not returning that data, which
means that sgdisk can only make a guess that the sector size is 512. (In
fact, when dealing with disk image files, it would probably be better to
provide a manual override for the sector size. I'll add that to the GPT
fdisk "wish list.")
