    It would be, if it was correct.  Megacli displays:

   Sector Size:  512
   Logical Sector Size:  512
   Physical Sector Size:  4096

But lsblk displays 512 for everything.  The disk says it uses a 512e format
with the 'e' meaning it emulates 512 even if not 512.

I'm also seeing the linkspeed, NCQ setting, drive temperature and
Manufacturers serial number -- all things I would expect out of the
kernel.  I thought I remembered seeing temps displayed in linux as
well.  Hmmmm.

Thanks for the pointer & response!
