This is Chiharu Shibata, who sent the PR(misc/12992) before. That PR's patch is to support non-512bytes/sector media for msdosfs. I have been checking the CVS repository, but the patch is not committed yet. I was hoping to be committed, before the patch is not available by another modification of msdosfs. The MO is very popular media in Japan, and 640MB/1.3GB MO are both 2048bytes/sector media. So, It is a FAQ that "How can I use DOS/Windows formatted 640MB MO?". In addition, NEC PC-98 uses non-512bytes/sector media generally. It is useless for PC-98 without the patch, not too much to say. I have reports that the patch works well, not only NEC PC-98, but also PC/AT's FreeBSD3.2-RELEASE. PS. I don't subscribe freebsd-current ML.
