Yes, weīll change to FS but I didnīt want to do it but as last solution.... letīs say ..... errrr.... I see it as the "easiest" solution .... and I wanted to find the real problem with raws .... maybe Iīm a bit obstinate

No!, I havenīt!. "getbsz" says you the blocksize of the device, the same value with "blockdev" command as with "duimpe2fs" one (thanks Noons)
