In partition tables, GPT entries specifically, there are 8 byte fields for the first and last LBA of the partition. Traditionally logical blocks are 512 bytes, but some new disks report sector sizes of up to 4096 bytes as both logical and physical sector size. For these so-called 4kn disks, should the partition table entries be interpreted as representing units of 4096 bytes, or does the magic number 512 still apply to their partition table entries?
I have been having a hard time determining which would be the expected interpretation. Thanks much, Cris
