I note that the disklabel has a number of parameters, such as headswitch,
track-to-track seek, etc. Is it important for any purpose to fill in the
actual values, or is the controller/driver smart enough to empirically
determine their real values.
For example, below are the values for st34520 which I just added.
# disklabel -r rz1
# /dev/rrz1a:
type: SCSI
disk: RZxx
label:
flags: dynamic_geometry
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 246
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 984
cylinders: 9006
sectors/unit: 8888924
rpm: 7200
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
