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

A similar Device (Sony650) is already there, but only with standard blocksize. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany

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. Bruce

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 - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany
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 16:47:04 home /kernel: (da1:ahc0:0:3:0): READ CAPACITY.

Only /stand/sysinstall can do it without an disktab entry. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany
State Changed From-To: feedback->open Hardware is Broken, but similar devices have entries in the disktab, so I suggest it might me added.
State Changed From-To: open->closed I do no loger care for this, neither does any other src comitter.
