Hi, I got the impression that MO-drives with 2048 byte sectors=20 could be used with 4.2 "out of the box".=20 I have a SCSI connected Fujitsu M2513EL, as reported by camcontrol. =46ormatting with fdisk or dd gives lengthy error messages, and using disklabel with customized disktab: http://freebsd.netwain.com/gem_html/F/A000204F.html --only gives more helpful error messages, like "slices extending beyond end of disk". That disktab entry uses the od driver -- should I get that? I'm using the da driver. I guess disks with 512 bytes/sectors will work witout these problems? Then perhaps the simplest solution is using only 540MB disks. Any help appreciated Gustaf Tham Sweden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
