162 / 4 is 40.5. So, disk access on modern disks will be slower but not
catastrophic.

What irritates me more in this context is the fact that I have two card
disks which are supposed to be identical. They come from the same
factory but only one carries a label saying it has 4k sectors.

I still would like to have at least two partitioning schemata available
without much user interaction. At least one should allow the user to
have /, /tmp, /var, /usr and /home in separated partitions. Call it the
classic partitioning schema and have another one called modern.
