At least one vendor ships an external drive (drive inside an enclosure) that causes parted to report 4096B/4096B logical/physical sectors. The drive inside is actually 512e so it's 512B/4096B, and the result of this is that partitioning/formatting it inside the enclosure means it's completely unreadable outside the enclosure and vice versa. So cute and adorable. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
