Interesting! That could be changed:
Block sizes and locations are based on the logical block size of the
device.
And to give a hint,
Block sizes and locations are based on the logical block size of the
device, usually 512 bytes.
But it doesn't tell the user how to find out the actual logical block
size. That is only implied by the size values at the right. We could
refer the reader to diskinfo(8), but it would be nice if gpart showed
the actual value used.
