While some disks emulate their 4k sectors as 512b, some don't.
E.g., I have a WD "My Book 1140" 3TB external USB disk, which reports 4k.
Softraid doesn't work with it, I have to use vnd instead (for encryption).
Some new WD My Book models alegedly allow you t

It's not possible to create softraid volumes (e.g. encryption) on 4k disks
Hello again.
disklabel(8) writes its label sector outside of A6 partition, possibly into
other partitions and overwrites data there. Looks like 512-byte sectors
are silently expected somewhere here, but I didn't check the code.
In the example below the label sector has been written to offset

They are supported and I wouldn't expect any "flaws".

Since you won't describe the flaws at all, I think you are full
of it.

Detailed question once again:
Does it makes sense to report bugs concerning disks with other sector
sizes then 512 bytes now?

Thanks for your very detailed question.
Detailed answer follows:
Hello misc@,
are disks with logical sector sizes other than 512-bytes supported? I can
get basic functionality with a 4k-sector drive, still there are some
flaws. Does it make sense to report these bugs now, or is it too early?
Regards,
David
