/proc/scsi/scsi: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST318451LW Rev: 0003 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBMAS400 Model: DGVS09U Rev: S9NA Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 The one I want to format is the second one. However, scsiinfo does not work for any of the /dev/sg* devices (it works for /dev/sda), trying scsiformat /dev/sg1 for blind resulted in: scsiformat (flushing disk buffers of /dev/sg1): Invalid argument any other idea? thanks dino
