I have had the same problems with some IBM drives which claimed to have 520 Bytes/Sector. I finally used a Tool from Dan Stricks - you may find the discussion on freebsd-scsi archive. Another way might be low-level formating using the Adaptec BIOS - at least on a 1542 it sets the sector size properly to 512 Bytes. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
