The right time to do that was already in 2010 :-) Because fdisk was brought up: fdisk shows partition sizes with their most relevant units: Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/vda1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System /dev/vda2 1050624 134215679 133165056 63.5G Linux filesystem So, M and G as appropriate.
