Bug Description

Binary package hint: util-linux

If a user has more than one partition of the same type with different blocksizes it is impossible to tell the difference.
Please let fdisk show the size in bytes,KiBs,MiBs, GiBs, TiBs or PiBs, thank you.

fdisk knows nothing about the filesystem's blocksize, it's blocks are always 1k.

summary: - fdisk -l only shows blocks and not the size andor blocksize of each
- partition
+ fdisk -l should show size in human readable units
