The right time to do that was already in 2010 :-)
Because fdisk was brought up: fdisk shows partition sizes with their
most relevant units:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/vda1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System
/dev/vda2 1050624 134215679 133165056 63.5G Linux filesystem
So, M and G as appropriate.
