With the patch, reading from da0 seems to work until the end,
but again only 13 bytes are written out when writing to a file:
[fk at kendra ~]$ sudo camdd -i pass=da0,bs=65536,mcs=10 -o file=blafsel.img
(pass2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 00 00 78 a8 00 00 00 00 00
(pass2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: CCB request completed with an error
4048551936 bytes read from pass2
13 bytes written to blafsel.img
127.6488 seconds elapsed
0.00 MB/sec
[fk at kendra ~]$ diskinfo -v /dev/da0
/dev/da0
512 # sectorsize
4048551936 # mediasize in bytes (3.8G)
7907328 # mediasize in sectors
0 # stripesize
0 # stripeoffset
492 # Cylinders according to firmware.
255 # Heads according to firmware.
63 # Sectors according to firmware.
AA00000000000958 # Disk ident.
It works as expected when writing to stdout, though, so this is
probably just a camdd-internal issue:
[fk at kendra ~]$ sudo camdd -i pass=da0,bs=65536,mcs=10 -o file=- > /dpool/scratch/blafasel.img
(pass2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 00 00 78 a8 00 00 00 00 00

SHA1 (/dpool/scratch/blafasel.img) = 12d1d9e82f840a6c6485ffcdb1fbf780266ed266
Looks good to me.
