Under Ultrix, there was a really convenient program called rzdisk that
allowed you to manipulate the various SCSI mode pages on the disk. This
is where you can configure things like whether or not to spin up the
motor on power up (or whether the disk should wait for a SCSI command to
spin up the motor), etc.
rzdisk could handled reading the defect list from the drive, reassign
bad blocks on the disk, do a low-level format of the disk, etc.
Is there an equivalent program under Linux? If so, where is it?
Many thanks,
