And to give a hint, Block sizes and locations are based on the logical block size of the device, usually 512 bytes. But it doesn't tell the user how to find out the actual logical block size. That is only implied by the size values at the right. We could refer the reader to diskinfo(8), but it would be nice if gpart showed the actual value used.
