You have to (de)select it by setting the appropriate bit(s) in the drives modepages. Doing so take something like SCSICNTRL.EXE an unsupported tool from Adaptec that runs on top of a ASPI compliant driver. Maybe there is also a way to do it using FreeBSD, but I dunno.

Maybe the sectors contain only filesystem metadata for as of yet unused data areas??
