Is there any danger to keeping one of my disks at 100% capacity? (it's a disk just used for read-only files, not system files or anything like that).
It's HP-UX if that matters.
Thanks! (1 Reply)

Hello all,
I was hoping to use a spare NAS as a ZFS fileserver and try a few things.
Unfortunately it has a huge raid for data, but a small 1G system disk. As I want to use the kernel CIFS server, I need OpenSolaris, which doesn't install without all the bloated Gnomestuff (oh well)
So I... (2 Replies)

ufiformat(8) System Manager's Manual ufiformat(8)NAME
ufiformat - Format a USB floppy disk.
SYNOPSIS
ufiformat [ -hiqvV ] [ -f|--format [size]] [ devicepath ]
OPTIONS -f, --format [size]
Specify format capacity SIZE in KB. Without -f option, the format of the current media will be used.
-V, --verify
Verify the medium after formatting. Only meaningful without -i option.
-F, --force
Do not perform any safety checks.
-i, --inquire
Show device information, instead of performing format. Without devicepath argument, list all USB floppy disk devices attached to
the system.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
-q, --quiet
Suppress minor diagnostics.
-h, --help
Show help message.
DESCRIPTION
ufiformat is a raw level formatting disk utility for USB floppy devices.
Raw level format is to write gap,index,sectors to the unformatted disk using special commands specific to the disk controller, to make the
plain magneto-sensitive film into sector-addressable medium. Note that raw level format is NOT about creating filesystems (fs(5)) on the
disk.
After mid-1990's, floppy disks are sold generally pre-formatted in MS-DOS 2HD format: 80 cylinder, 2 heads, 18 sectors/track, 512
bytes/sector; it is seldom in need for raw formatting. Nevertheless raw formatting could cure some disk and drive mismatchings.
WARNING: You will NOT raw format an LS-120 disks or (removable) hard disks; they are precision formatted in factory and cannot be raw
reformatted.
ufiformat supports only the following format capacities:
1440/1232/1200 (for 2HD disk)
720/640 (for 2DD disk)
The device should support the capacities also, otherwise ufiformat shows an error message.
The above format capacities are predefined in the program, but each USB floppy device also has a limited set of formats (defined
internally) that it can format media to. The allowed format capacities are obtained by querying (-i) the device, but this only returns the
total format capacity and not CHS (cylinder, heads and sectors), hence a mapping is required in the program.
EXAMPLES
Inquiry the device for available format:
# modprobe sg
# ufiformat -i /dev/sda
vendor: Y-E DATA
product: USB-FDU
write protect: off
media type: 2HD
status block size kb
formatted 2880 512 1440
formattable 2880 512 1440
formattable 1232 1024 1232
formattable 2400 512 1200
Format the floppy disk in 1.44MB, and create a FAT filesystem:
# ufiformat -f 1440 /dev/sda
# mkdosfs -I /dev/sda
PREREQUISTES
ufiformat needs /dev/sg* SCSI pass-thru device to operate. If the device does not exist, add the driver by invoking modprobe sg.
You often need to be root to do anything with /dev/sd*.
