On a Series III hard disk, what's a "sector" - I forget...

2010-11-17 by karmagician

Hi all,

Having powered on my Series III for the first time in several years, I'm trying to determine if I have enough free space on the HD to load some files from tape.

When you do a "free" in the shell, it tells you how many "sectors" are available - I completely forget what this means...is a sector 256k, so 4 sectors = 1 mb? something like that I seem to recall....
