Works for me: # dasdfmt -b 4096 -d ldl -f /dev/dasdd Drive Geometry: 500 Cylinders * 15 Heads = 7500 Tracks I am going to format the device /dev/dasdd in the following way: Device number of device : 0x1004 Labelling device : yes Disk label : LNX1 Disk identifier : 0X1004 Extent start (trk no) : 0 Extent end (trk no) : 7499 Compatible Disk Layout : no Blocksize : 4096 --->> ATTENTION! <<--- All data of that device will be lost. Type "yes" to continue, no will leave the disk untouched: yes Formatting the device. This may take a while (get yourself a coffee). Finished formatting the device. Rereading the partition table... ok # dasd_configure 0.0.1004 1 1 Configuring device 0.0.1004 Setting device offline for DIAG access Activating DIAG access mode Setting device online The "-d ldl" on the dasdfmt is still required.
