If my fdisk -l looks like this:
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 35694 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 5 40131 de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 6 332 2626627+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda3 * 333 345 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 346 35694 283940842+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 346 21245 167879218+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 21246 28211 55954363+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 28212 35178 55962396 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 35179 35309 1052226 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 35310 35440 1052226 83 Linux
/dev/sda10 35441 35694 2040223+ 82 Linux swap
Would it be correct to calculate the amount of disk space on my system
by multiplying 16065 times 512, and then multiplying that result by 35694?
