Fdisk without -b gives me the following:
$ sudo fdisk 1024 /dev/sda1
Usage: fdisk [options] <disk> change partition table fdisk [options] -l [<disk>] list partition table(s)
Options: -b <size> sector size (512, 1024, 2048 or 4096) -c[=<mode>] compatible mode: 'dos' or 'nondos' (default) -h print this help text -c[=<mode>] compatible mode: 'dos' or 'nondos' (default) -L[=<when>] colorize output (auto, always or never) -t <type> force fdisk to recognize specified partition table type only -u[=<unit>] display units: 'cylinders' or 'sectors' (default) -v print program version -C <number> specify the number of cylinders -H <number> specify the number of heads -S <number> specify the number of sectors per track
For more details see fdisk(8).
