Using Removable Devices with Blocksizes > 1024 Bytes

Using Removable Devices with Blocksizes > 1024 Bytes

Post by Uwe Hah » Tue, 19 Aug 1997 04:00:00



Hi,

I have a Fujitsu M2513 Magneto-Optical SCSI drive and want
to access the 640MB cartridges, which have a fixed block
size of 2048 bytes.

I have no problems with 230MB cartridges with a bs of 512
bytes.

Is there a way to access block devices with bs's other than
512 or 1024 bytes (Kernel 2.0.30)?

Thank you very much for any info given.

        Uwe

1. FreeBSD File System 512 byte-blocks --> 1024 byte-blocks

I was installing FreeBSD 2.1 several times trying to get things right
and I noticed that on my last install, the df command would return file
system block sizes of 512 bytes. All of my previous installs were of
1024 byte blocks. I always used the auto feature during the
partition. Does anyone know why it changed? And is it possible to change
the block size back to 1024bytes w/o reinstalling FreeBSD? ...what
gives?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
