hard drive's page size (if that's the right term)

Subject: hard drive's page size (if that's the right term)
From: Ben Dougall <email@hidden>

with virtual memory the size of a page is 4k at the moment and the number of bytes in a page can be determined at runtime using getpagesize() from the standard c library. what about the block size of the hard drive -- the smallest size of block that can be read in one go? does that always correspond with the page size? does it vary from drive to drive? is there a getpagesize() hard drive equivalent? if so what is it?

thanks, ben
