Displaying offset and length information in units of 512 bytes

 To display offset and length information in units of 512 bytes

• Specify the -b option to the vxprint and vxdisk commands, as shown in these examples:

  # vxprint -bm

  # vxdisk -b list

Specifying the -b option enables consistent output to be obtained on different platforms. Without the -b option, the information is output in units of sectors. The number of bytes per sector differs between platforms.

When the vxprint -bm or vxdisk -b list command is used, the output also contains the b suffix, so that the output can be fed back to vxmake.
