Is there a way to change the bytes per sector? When I Googled about my
problem, I saw talk about 512 bps. When I look, I get:
format> ver
Volume name = < >
ascii name = <ST3000DM-001-9YN166- -746.52GB>
bytes/sector = 512
sectors = 1565565871
accessible sectors = 1565565838
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 256 746.51GB 1565549454
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 1565549455 8.00MB 1565565838
format>
If I changed this to 2KB/sector, it would give me 2986.04GB. How would I
even do this?

From my notes configuring a 3 TB Hitachi in June 2011 on Sol 10 u8.
"After considerable fubar, the key to formatting the 3 TB disk was to
use, 'format -e', supply LBA pseudo geometry & create an EFI label.
NB Must run fdisk from inside format."
All I remember is I did it once. Now I wish I'd been more verbose in
my notes.
The Hitachi is pulled for RMA. As I recall the BIOS reported it as
887 GB. ZFS saw the entire drive, though it's really only 2.79 TB.
But it worked just fine until it starting failing.
Hope this helps.
