da8 at ahc6 bus 0 target 3 lun 0 da8: <IBM 0661467 G o> Fixed Direct Access SCSI2 device da8: 5.0MB/s transfers (5.0MHz, offset 12) da8: 388MB (782600 520 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 382C) FreeBSD don't like this sector size very much :( I know that they can be formated with 512 byte sectors. I've done this with an old 1542 on a similar drive. I just selected format in the BIOS-Tool and it lowlevel formated it with 512 byte sectors. Unfortunately I don't like the idea of plugging a videocard into this host just for waiting for each drive (6 ones) I've tried: camcontrol cmd -n pass -u 12 -v -t 9999 -c "4 0 0 0 0 0" but I gave me a fresh formated 520byte HDD :( does anybody know the command to change the sector size? -- B.Walter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
