Hi , i am facing a problem , its not a problem its a confusion ,

when i am using "sudo fdisk -l" at that time i am getting output like this in the shell .
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

when i am using , df -l , at that time i am getting output like this in screen
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

so please can you tell me why this two different blocks of memory are introduced by the shell .

They're not introduced by the shell. The HDD has a physical layout, fdisk is
taking that. The file-system has a logical layout, w/ yet another block-size.
And the makers of ls have chosen something different yet again.

Nothing to do w/ the shell.


Your complaint is like blaming a road for the fact that its length can
be expressed in meters, miles or li. ;}

"Your complaint is like blaming a road for the fact that its length can be expressed in meters, miles or li. ;}"

but i am asking because i created a directory named sufi_songs
total 23096
-rw-r--r-- 1 daa daa 9031388 Aug 9 11:32 delhi610(www.songs.pk).mp3
-rw-r--r-- 1 daa daa 14614837 Oct 2 2011 [Songs.PK] Rockstar - 04 - Kun Faya Kun.mp3
by properties :: 2 items, totalling 23.6 MB

now please think about this , 23096 blocks , if i take 512 as a block size than i will never reach at 23.6 mb but if i take 1kb as size than i can reach 23.6 mb ,

so how can i find that at which time , in which dierectory , which type of block size( 512 or 1024 ) is used !

think about it...

miles or kilometers?
