Hi all...
I own a cheap NCR 53c810a scsi controler. It hasn't a bios setup
utility as Adaptec 2940, so I've no idea how I can do a low level
format of a SCSI disk in Linux (without changing the drive to
another computer with other scsi controler). I've a drive with
media defects and badblocks doesn't help, so I think a low level
format should solve it.
I found the scsifmt program in
sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/hardware, but it doesn't work for
me (it's for zip drives, and said to work with hd's but...)
Anobody can point me to some low level scsi formatting program for
Linux?
Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras
