Is there any way how to dump raw data from these drives without
reformat drive to different sector size ?
Most disks have a sector size of 512 bytes, not kilobytes.

Hi,
i should apologize for incompletely question (with mistakes)
so again (and better :-)
Yes, of course drives have sector size of 520bytes not kilobytes,
it was my typo fail.
# dmesg | grep sd2
sd2 at scsibus0 targ 2 lun 0: <IBMAS400, DFHSS4W, 4I4I> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd2: drive offline
# fdisk sd2
fdisk: sd2: Device not configured
# disklabel sd2
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: Device not configured
# dd=/dev/rsd2c of=disk1.img
dd: /dev/rsd2c: Device not configured
I tried this drive in a linux box and dmesg told me:
# dmesg | grep sdb
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] Unsupported sector size 520.
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] 0 512-byte hardware sectors: (0 B/0 B)
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: a7 00 10 08
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports
DPO and FUA
sd 0:0:3:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
and there i get knowledge about 520byte sector size.
I would like to get raw data from this drive.
Ok - if it's impossible, i want to say it. :-)
Thank. Milan
