For example, I got a ST423451N (:-() and like all Seagate drives, it has to be formatted from time to time. It took more that 4 hours until the command timed out. I think a good value would be 28800 (8 hours) but this is just proposal. >How-To-Repeat: Format a ST423451N with scsiformat. >Fix: If someone commits this, please commit it to -STABLE at least.
