>Description:

It is possible to create and use an msdos filesystem with 2048-byte
sectors; but it is not possible to "fsck" it.  "fsck_msdosfs" on
such a fileystem returns:
          "could not read boot block (Invalid argument)"

>How-To-Repeat:

         dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m of=msdos.img count=20
         MD=`mdconfig -af msdos.img`
         gnop create -S 2048 -v $MD
         newfs_msdos -n1 $MD.nop
         fsck_msdosfs /dev/$MD.nop
         ** /dev/md4.nop
         could not read boot block (Invalid argument)
         ...
         mount -t msdosfs /dev/$MD.nop /mnt

>Fix:

The following POC patch uses DIOCGSECTORSIZE instead of a fixed value of 
DOSBOOTBLOCKSIZE.
