Thanks to Casper Dik and Nick Hindley. Takes about an hour to do an 18GB drive it appears. In this case the regular format-> select disk -> repair then feed it the bad block # is sufficient. Cheers Joe ============================================================================ ======================== Hi, Anyone done a format/repair on and 18GB Seagate? I've got a couple of units in an A1000 array logging recovered block read errors. Archives suggest the way to clear the errors is to format the disks and have the bad blocks revectored. I'd like to get a handle on how long this may take.
