Fdisk - L: "Must Be Root To Execute This Command."

Sectors are the smallest unit of storage on a disk that can be read and written to individually. Cylinders are the tracks on a disk that pass under the disk read/write heads. A cylinder consists of all the sectors that can be accessed in a single disk rotation without repositioning the heads. The document shows the disk layout in sectors and cylinders to map out how the data is organized on the physical disks.
