The information on that page is from 2012. It doesn't apply to current versions of the kernel. When I tried to use the technique showed to see if it would show the size of my drive partitions the referenced file doesn't exist.

[alvin@alvin ~]$ cat /sys/block/sda/sda1/size
40960000
[alvin@alvin ~]$ cat /sys/block/sda/sda1/start
2048
