Subject: DASDFMT on Suse 7.2 distro
How long after 'Finshed formatting the device' on a 'dasdfmt -n 0D18 -b
4096 -l L40D18' command should dasdfmt be sticking around waiting to
return
to the shell?
It's been easily 2 hours since the message was issued. The time parameter
keeps going up on the ps -r display and top shows the tasks at least using
variable rates of CPU.
Just curious as to what it's doing after 'Finishing formatting the device'
is seen
