Well, according to scsiformat, the sector size *is* changeable. I've gone through all four -P values, and discovered that the default value is, in fact, 512. Obviously one alternative would be to reset the disk to its default value. Does anybody have any ideas on that? -P 1 (changeable values) lists all the fields, but all are set to 0. Does this mean anything? Greg
