Hi,
i have few IBM scsi drives from old (risc-based) IBM as/400.
These drives have 520KByte sector size instead of 512KByte.
Is there any way how to dump raw data from these drives without
reformat drive to different sector size ?
$ dmesg
...
sd2 at scsibus0 targ 3 lun 0: <IBMAS400, DFHSS4W, 4I4I> SCSI 2 0/direct

sd2: drive offline

What is "raw data"?
Just dd if=/dev/rsd2c of=somewhere.
Or is there a filesystem you can read/dump?
Then "dump | restore" as usual.
What are you _really_ trying to do?
Yes, just dd if=/dev/rsd2c ....
_really_ ? :-) I am just curious :-)
