I just got a Seagate Hawk scsi drive that I want to use strictly for FreeBSD. The number of sectors available reported by disklabel (838733) does not match the (# cylinders) * (tracks/cylinder) * (sectors/track) (9595 * 19 * 46 ) as reported by disklabel. Is this basically meaningless? Can I tell disklabel that the real values are (6217 * 19 * 71) so that the number of blocks matches the the actual disk size?
