SubjectRe: lseek("/dev/hda1", 0, SEEK_END) returns 0

the BLKGETSIZE ioctl returns sector size of block devices (ie,
/dev/sda1). but don't sector sizes vary as well? there doesn't seem to
be an ioctl to get sector size, unfortunately.

No, the sector size is always 512; or at least, it should always be 512,
for the purposes of the kernel/user-mode interface.
