>So what is your answer to the question?
The one that I posted: use, e.g., BLK3390 to determine how many blocks
will fit on a track, then do the arithmetic. That assumes, of course, no
compression and no short blocks.

The answer is the same, i.e., determine the number of blocks/track and do
the arithmetic.

Not if the original allocation was in tracks or cylinders. Not if there
are secondary extents. Besides which, if the original poster had the
original allocation in, e.g., Mi bytes, then he wouldn't be asking.
