Hi, Wojciech, thanks for the response - appreciate any assistance. dd seems to be able to read OK from the devices:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/da2 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
4096000 bytes transferred in 0.109224 secs (37500992 bytes/sec)
$ sudo dd if=/dev/da2p2 of=/dev/null bs=4096
1048576+0 records in
1048576+0 records out
4294967296 bytes transferred in 56.561789 secs (75934078 bytes/sec)
$ sudo dd if=/dev/da2p4 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
4096000 bytes transferred in 0.119445 secs (34291805 bytes/sec)
