While some disks emulate their 4k sectors as 512b, some don't.
E.g., I have a WD My Book 1140 3TB external USB disk, which reports 4k.
Softraid doesn't work with it, I have to use vnd instead (for encryption).
Some new WD My Book models alegedly allow you to

Hello misc@,
are disks with logical sector sizes other than 512-bytes supported? I can
get basic functionality with a 4k-sector drive, still there are some
flaws. Does it make sense to report these bugs now, or is it too early?

Thanks for your very detailed question.

Detailed question once again:
Does it makes sense to report bugs concerning disks with other sector
sizes then 512 bytes now?
Explanation:
I met quite a few flaws when working with 4k-sector drives. I am not sure
if such drives are supported

Since you won't describe the flaws at all, I think you are full
of it.
In general, what I've seen is that if something works, but has a bug,
submit a bug report.

They are supported and I wouldn't expect any flaws.
Simply put: shall I send any reports concerning 4k-sectors on -cuurent

Hello again.
disklabel(8) writes its label sector outside of A6 partition, possibly into
other partitions and overwrites data there. Looks like 512-byte sectors
are silently expected somewhere here, but I didn't check the code.
In the example below the label sector has been written to offset
12 matches
