: 
: Unless somebody broke something, this is certainly not a GEOM bug,
: because GEOM will access any sectorsize >= 512 bytes, and by "any"
: I don't just mean power-of-two sizes.
: 
: Run:
: 	diskinfo -v /dev/da3
: and see what it says.
: 
: If it says anything but 1024 byte sector size, the problem is in
: scsi_da or umass, possibly both.
: 
: If it says 1024 byte sector size, somebody broke GEOM.

I know that GEOM works with 1056 byte sectors for the spi dataflash I
have in my ARM box.  No FS work with that, but that's not GEOM's
fault. :-)
