I remember seeing some patches going into current or at least floating
around on the mailing lists on fixing problems with non-512 bytes sector
sizes.

What's the status on that?

PR 9334: cp fails for 2048 Bytes/sector media


When I insert a 640 MB (2048 Bytes/sector) OD into the drive, mount it
on /od and try to copy a file from the OD to the harddisk I potentially
get:

[101] gradalis:~> cp /od/sane-1.00.tar.gz .
cp: ./sane-1.00.tar.gz: Bad address
[102] gradalis:~>

The console then shows:

dscheck: b_bcount 25600 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 2048)
spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=22)
               size: 25600, resid: 25600, a_count: 24830, valid: 0x0
               nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 200, pcount: 7
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 9518 (cp)
