My question is this: how much is a block? I was told that 1 block ==
512 bytes, and so therefore, 2 blocks == 1 Kb.
If this is the case, then if I set a limit of 200 blocks, will this
represent 10 MB?
Yet another person told me that 1 block is 1 Kb, in which case, the
calculations are thrown out ...
Can someone tell me how many blocks constitute 10 MB?
Incidentally, yes, I have looked in the FAQ, and the handbook ...
Thanks in advance. :-)

1 Block = 512 Bytes:
# ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1024 Dec 28 14:10 testfile
# ls -ls testfile (report in blocks)
2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1024 Dec 28 14:10 testfile
^
# ls -lsk testfile (report in 1k-blocks)
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1024 Dec 28 14:10 testfile
