+fdisk -l /dev/sd*
+gives both the logical and physical sector sizes at the top (along with 
+other global info), before listing the partitions.
+It gives this info for both mbr and gpt partition tables.
+But it only lists the partitions for an mbr partition table.
+
+gdisk -l /dev/sd*
+gives the logical sector size at the top.  (It might not indicate a 
+differing physical sector size, but in any case it is the logical size 
+which counts for OS addressing.  The physical size is explicitly 
+indicated inside gdisk.)
+It lists the partitions for both mbr and gpt tables (and maybe other 
+formats).
+
+Note : sd* should be sda or sdb or ... , according to the disk in question.
