You don't see HDD geometry translation with linux as it doesn't know
what the actual hardware does. Unless you have a very old system where
the heads/sectors/tracks actually were physical. But I doubt it as you
probably have more than ~30M bytes on a disk.

Its quite interesting to see a system optimising where its putting files
when it doesn't know where the files are actually being put on the disk.
