Did some testing on a SunOs4.1.3u1 system using
the 'scsiinfo -F' command & found that somehow
the Novell format had 'LOCKED' the ending Cyl
at 1911 instead of 1931 & 20 Cyl's are gone.
Again, is there a tool available to recover the
lost Cylinders ? I have done -some- rudimentary
searchs on 'scsi,tools' with the results being
a list of tools which I am already aware & don't
seem to have the options I need for the above
problem.
