Hello, I have a Seagate ST350000 CLAR500 disk. it is attached to my Sun Blade 1000 running FreeBSD 9.1 I need to label it, create partition and move te root /usr/ var and swap from the main boot disk which has corrupted blocks. so this disk will become my boot disk. the problem is that I cannot partition it or even access it in anyway dd: /dev/da6: Invalid argument 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000700 secs (0 bytes/sec) this is the disk information: da6 at isp0 bus 0 scbus2 target 1 lun 0 da6: <SEAGATE ST350000 CLAR500 FDBD> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da6: 100.000MB/s transfers WWNN 0x2000001862133c8d WWPN 0x2100001862133c8d PortID 0xe4 da6: Command Queueing enabled da6: 476940MB (961745856 520 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 59865C) the problem is that disk byte sectors are 520 and not 512 is there a way to reformat it to 512 byte sectors ? is there a way to make it usable ? the SCSI III disk has a FC - AL interface (Internal Sun Blade 1000 Caddy). thank you Rick
