I feel pretty stupid asking such an elementary question, but don't know how to look it up. What command will tell me the block size of a given hard drive? It could also be a command that gives it to me for all drives but I really only need it for a particular one right now (/dev/sda5), though one that would list all drives and their attributes would probably be more useful long term.
I am curious if there are any magnetic drives in common use today (say, IDE-, SATA -, SCSI-, FireWire- or USB-connected and 15,000 RPM or less) whose native sector size is anything other than 512 bytes?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
