I haven't checked this change yet (freefall seems to be down again), but I
can assure you I'm really pissed off if somebody changed hardware block to
SCSI logical block- the terms were specifically and precisely chosen. The
author of the change should check with someone who knows first.

SCSI logical block is one method of tape positioning. Hardware block is
another. Confusing the two by making random edits is not good.
