Not really, scsi(8) was flushed out at my request and expense to replace just 1 of the tools I had to run under DOS frequently, several of the other tools I use less often and have not sought out a FreeBSD replacement for. The ``tool'' I usually use for running a ``verify with remap'' pass is the aha2940 BIOS lately, since I can just pop the drive on a test setup and fix it. > > > > The NCR controllers in use around here do not have a built in BIOS utility > > (like the Adaptecs do) to do low level formatting and verification/bad > > block remapping. > > What's wrong with scsiformat(8)?

How hard would it be to extend it so that it does what the aha2940 ``verify'' mode does? -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc. Reliable computers for FreeBSD
