## Convert a 512B-sector disk to 4096B sectors
1. Make sure the disk is not currently in use.
2. Get the disknum (like `da4`), either in the web UI or with the ~/disklist.pl script.
3. Run `sg_format --size=4096 --format --fmtpinfo=0 /dev/[disknum]` for the disk.
4. Wait 12-16 hours (for 8 TB disk).
5. Remove and re-insert the disk.
