Subject:   Recovering SCSI disk contents the evil way?

We're trying to recover the contents of the CCD array that was in use on 
hub (yes, this should involve "restore from backup", but certain backup 
issues are precluding this).

The disk in question is an IBM DCAS-34330; it's looking pretty sick in 
that it's not able to correctly print its version string when probed, 
_but_, the loader is able to correctly read the first few sectors to get 
the disklabel off it.

Unfortunately, we then lose because the 'da' driver wants to try to read 
the disk's capacity, and that fails.

So before I hack the loader to just duplicate the bits onto another disk, 
I was wondering if anyone's already written a tool to do this that uses 
eg. the passthrough device...
