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:

--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
