- You are right in what you say, but there's even more - SCSI-disks never has
- a visible geometry, and the sectors/track count might not be the same every-
- ware on the disk surface. Over the SCSIbus you only adress blocks, so any
- real partitioning program wouldnt deal with trachs and sectors. SUN for
- example has a format program that is a real mess...
