This goes back at least as far as soft-sectored 8" diskettes in the CP/M era. IIRC, physical sector 0 of each track contained the C number, possibly the H, and a list of the remaining sectors on the track including the size of each sector -- even within a single track the sectors did not all have to be the same size. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
