It takes about 42 minutes here to dasdfmt a volume with 65519 cylinders on it.
It takes about 18 minutes to dd an already formatted volume over to a new one.
It also takes about 19 minutes to fill it up with zeros by cat /dev/zero to it.
Why does dasdfmt take so long?
This is a known problem which is currently being investigated.
