I've once got an increasing number of hardware failures on an ST-3655N. Reformatting did also cure the problem there, it didn't re-appear since. It seems that Seagate is to the very least not cheating about their drives. FORMAT does still mean FORMAT to them. Btw., there's a scsiformat(8) in -current, in case you haven't noticed yet. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
