Hi Conrad,

As mentioned in another thread ([1], [2]), I'm looking at dumping on
systems w/ AF-4Kn drives (on a fairly old version of FreeBSD).
Unfortunately, I'm not at all familiar w/ the process. I'm going to pick
at it a few more days, but will probably end up having to punt and dumpsys
onto a 512n or AF-512e device. But, since you are refactoring all this
code in -CURRENT anyway, I think it would be awesome if you could look to
the future and make it work w/o assuming that dump device block size is
DEV_BSIZE; it would be better to use the sector size, as returned (for
example) by ioctl(DIOCGSECTORSIZE).

That won't help me now, but hopefully it will help everyone in the future.

Thanks,

Ravi
