What could be causing this, and how can I correct it? If you want to change the sector size, edit mode page 3. To find out how to edit mode pages, read the scsi(8) man page. The sector size may or may not be changeable from a mode page. If it isn't (or even if it is), you should look at the manual for this device. After you change the sector size, you may have to low-level format the array. (see scsiformat(8)) > Another thing I notice is that I cannot seem to access sd0 with > anything.

It would be much easier to diagnose if you were running 3.x. It may have something to do with the sector size, though. I dunno for sure.
