No, 7-8 remained as-is. ad7p1 was created using:
#gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10G -b 63 ad7=20

So it begins at sector #63, but physical 4096-block begins at logical secto=
r 64. That's why I shifted gnop by 1 sector.

:-(
But this drive was bought primarily as backup solution. That is a good choi=
ce according to your blog entry :-)

Is it a problem of WD Green or it is common to all 4096-sector models?
