Blocks to GB conversion - Raspberry Pi Forums


i've tried looking various calculators online i'm stumped. have 1tb hdd , want set 2gb swap , rest root. enter +998gb ending size of first partition , +2gb swap.

shows /dev/sda1 start 2048, end 1949220797, blocks 97460935
/dev/sda2 1949220798, end 1953127047, blocks 1953125.

did achieve intended size , using of 1tb drive then?

97460935 figure looks wrong me. sure isn't more 1949218750?

"block" in case 512 bytes. disk contains blocks 0 1953127047, gives 1,000,001,048,064 bytes (about 1tb in decimal).

first partition block 2,048 1,949,220,797, 1,949,218,750 blocks, or 998,000,000,000 bytes (about 998gb in decimal)
second block 1,949,220,798 1,953,127,047, or 2,000,000,000 bytes.
