	MO-Drives with sectors of 2048 bytes
	must have a disktab entry, before you can create a filesystem.

Is this still something you would like to see added?

Yes the drive is still working,
and with this entry I can create an ufs on it.
A similar Device (Sony650) is already there,
but only with standard blocksize.

kind regards Dirk

Doesn't the driver know the size and block size of the drive?
If the driver knows them both, then you don't need a disktab entry,
and drivers must know at least the block size to work.

The driver knows it,

da1: <FUJITSU M2513A 1500> Removable Optical SCSI-CCS device 
da1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 10)
da1: 606MB (310352 2048 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 151C)

With FreeBSD 3.4 I couldn't put on a disklabel on it.
Failed with various errorcodes taht I have not recorded.
I will get a new media and try it again.

kind regards Dirk

I can't access the drive in FreeBSD 4.4 any longer, so I coudn't check.

da1: <FUJITSU M2513A 1500> Removable Optical SCSI-CCS device 
da1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 10)

Dec  4 16:47:05 home /kernel: (da1:ahc0:0:3:0): Media load or eject failed

But you never can install a disklabel on any harddisk,
if it was freshly formatted, and containing only zeros.
Only /stand/sysinstall can do it without an disktab entry.

Hardware is Broken, but similar devices have entries in 
the disktab, so I suggest it might me added.
