# Here's some explanation about the script:
# The loop above will deal with the input file as multiple groups of rows. It works like this: each
# group is defined based on physical addr. The "find_nop" function is in charge of that. It'll find the
# first PA, calculates how many partitions will be put into this disk, and simply spots the next PA.
# The index $i, which specifies the current, row will be incremented untill its value reaches $nop
# then it's time to work on the next PA; so $nop gets calculated and $i will try to reach its value again.
