4Description:
5 Storage devices may report a physical block size that is
6 bigger than the logical block size (for instance a drive
7 with 4KB physical sectors exposing 512-byte logical
8 blocks to the operating system). This parameter

300 The independent_access_ranges directory contains one directory
301 per access range, with each range described using the sector
302 (RO) attribute file to indicate the first sector of the range
303 and the nr_sectors (RO) attribute file to indicate the total
304 number of sectors in the range starting from the first sector of
305 the range. For example, a dual-actuator hard-disk will have the
306 following independent_access_ranges entries.::
