I am working on a tool which reads raw from a disk via cygwin's /dev/sdX interface, which works fine. But I need to determine the size of the disk preferably in sectors. I can not find a get ata identity functionality in cygwin, but I can live without it if I could get the disk size elsewhere. My disk is 40 Gb which is divided in to two partitions on 20Gb each. "df" reports 19567136 and 20625392 1k-blocks each, which is the correct size. But /proc/partitions says 313074216 and 330167880 which is about a factor 0.0625 of compared to linux. Why this strange factor it seems like you accidently multiplied by 16.
My cygwin version is 1.5.5-1
