Converting sectors into MB - Useful in understanding the sectors in iostat in Linux
Supposed you have a sector with 512 Bytes equivalent, then the formula will be just below
1 sect. 1024 Bytes 1024 KB --------- x ---------- x --------- = 2048 sect./ MB 512 Bytes 1 KB 1 MB
i.e.
if a sector has a 512 Bytes, commonly in a hard disk, so which means that a 1024 Bytes == 2 sector of a KiloByte. So if 2 sector is equivalent to a KiloByte (1024 Bytes), if you do the math, 2 ** 1024 / 512.0 = 2048.
This is useful only understanding the iostat process in Linux.
