a) scsiinfo does allow access to all mode pages worth noting.
b) reassigning bad blocks should be done by the disk itself. No tool is
required (except scsiinfo to enable it).
c) I just wrote scsiinfo 1.7 which includes a low level formatter and
allows you to add own defects. I didn't check, I dunno if it was moved
to a publically accessible dir ion tsx-11.mit.edu or
sunsite.unc.edu already though.
Sorry! When I looked, I only found scsiinfo 1.6, which was dated April
'96, and was apparntly last worked on by the EYC. I hadn't realized
that scsiinfo 1.7 had been released.
I've just moved scsiinfo 1.7 to a publically accessible directory on
tsx-11. It's in /pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi/scsiinfo-1.7.tar.gz.
(Michael, is this stable/complete enough such that you'd like me to move
it out of the ALPHA directory?)
