Blocksize used with rz driver and filesystem

Hello,

we have a problem using MO-drives with 4.0G and 5.x.
These drives want to use a physical blocksize of 2048 bytes.

Changing the DDR DB seems to have no results with the rz driver.
To make it harder I'm not sure about the state of the newfs -S option.
Looks like it's not really supported and I'm not sure if it will work even.

This MO drives work without modifications *but* using a 512 byte
blocksize divide the size of the drive by 4.

So the question is:
Is it possible to use SCSI Disks with a physical blocksize of 2kb with
ufs and/or advfs Filesystems?

Thanks in advance
.//. Arne
