You can definitely have Heads up to the maximum of heads=64. Take a look at a newer and contributed format.dat: ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/format.dat You can copy this to /etc. You might want to check also scsiinfo: ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/scsiinfo >From the readme blurb: "Scsiinfo displays information about SCSI devices attached to a given system, as seen by a supported SCSI device driver." One good thing about scsiinfo is it can examine the logical disk that you have and create info which can be inserted to format.dat. regards, --- Andre M.
