>Description:
I work computer forensics for a law enforcement agency. I use FreeBSD extensively. Tried to upgrade to 5.x series for the SATA support. However the md5 checksum no longer works on raw devices. I have tried it with 5.0 and 5.2.1, neither work.
Worked fine with 4.x series.
cksum of a raw device works fine, e.g.
cksum /dev/ad2
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to md5 checksum any raw device:
md5 /dev/fd0
md5 /dev/ad2, etc.
