I could control spin up/down with cam control, but was never able to straiten out the sector. I could however mount it as /dev/da1, which I should not have been able to do. It was still under warranty so I sent it back. This particular episode is in the archives as "File system lost". I have another Medallist Pro that is working fine, however it is not "dangerously dedicated" and these two were. Could this have something to do with the problem?
