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
