This is new in -HEAD (less than one week I think) -

da1: <LEXAR JUMPDRIVE SPORT 1000> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da1: 1.000MB/s transfers
da1: 495MB (1014784 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 495C)
dscheck(#da/0x1000a): illegal partition number (2) for WHOLE_DISK_SLICE access
WARNING: #da/0x10002 si_iosize_max=0, using DFLTPHYS.
dscheck(#da/0x10002): illegal partition number (2) for WHOLE_DISK_SLICE access


fdisk fails to read disk partition table. disklabel is likewise confused.

The stick in question has a standard partition table and one dos partition.

It worked last week.

Should be easily reproducible.

Cheers,

Andrew
