Hi,

I always thought that tracks=heads*cylinders or so, but now

commit 174d92a09a250c64451d8340219a89593172b056
[...]    
    Add a field for the number of tracks (number of heads*sectors).

Heads*sectors would instead be the number of sectors per cylinder as I
understand it.  How does this fit together?

Feri.
