And the numbers match (34715*16*128 = 71096320). For sd1 one result differs from the other two and neither set of values seem to match. I suspect sd1 is behaving badly in some way. I would suggest trying a -current snapshot as the geometry code has been getting a lot of work lately. If you can (and want to) you can compile a kernel with the options option SCSIDEBUG option SCSIDEBUG_LEVEL=0xf0 option SCSIDEBUG_BUSES=0x2 option SCSIDEBUG_TARGETS=0x5 option SCSIDEBUG_LUNS=0xff and send me the output. It will show exactly what the disks are saying about their geometry. What fdisk is doing I don't know. .... Ken
