>From freebsd-hackers@, thread "Seeking reviewers for patch; PR 193873"[0]:

As mentioned in another thread ([1], [2]), I'm looking at dumping on systems w/
AF-4Kn drives (on a fairly old version of FreeBSD). Unfortunately, I'm not at
all familiar w/ the process. I'm going to pick at it a few more days, but will
probably end up having to punt and dumpsys onto a 512n or AF-512e device. But,
since you are refactoring all this code in -CURRENT anyway, I think it would be
awesome if you could look to the future and make it work w/o assuming that dump
device block size is DEV_BSIZE; it would be better to use the sector size, as
returned (for example) by ioctl(DIOCGSECTORSIZE).
