True, this will be off by the overhead of /dev/zero, wouldn't that be negligible given the bandwidth of disks and the memory interface (which are apart some orders of magnitude)?
I am new to the unix world. I have SunBlade 100 and A1000 Disk storage array with 12 Hard drives. I used SCSI card and SCSI cables to connect. When I do the format command,I can see disk storage as one disk instead of 12 disks as below. Could anybody can explain why?

Hi,
I have the Lacie Big Disk, which is a external hard drive enclosure in a hardware RAID0 array of 2x250GB disks. The RAID controller seems to have died, leaving me with 2 working hard drives but no way to get the data. I tried hooking the drives up to a windows machine and using Raid... (4 Replies)
I have read anecdotes about people installing RAID0 (RAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) on some of their machines because it gives a performance boost. Because bandwidth on the motherboard is limited, can someone explain exactly why it should be faster? (7 Replies)
So I have 2 solaris sun servers one with a disk array with 14 drives which I need to move to the other server. How do I move the disk array configured as a Raid 5 to another server without losing data? So far I know I'll connect the drive, run devfsadm, use format to verify the server see's... (5 Replies)
HI:
I have a DUAL redundant system running in HP-UX 10.20 ( 2 servers)
Both servers share an external SCSI disk array. Both server runs a Data base wich uses the disk array to write the data, and that is the way they share the information.
The way that the servers see the disk array, is like... (1 Reply)
Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.
We did see a message in errpt. DISK ARRAY PROTECTION SUSPENDED.

GNOME-DISKS(1) gnome-disk-utility GNOME-DISKS(1)NAME
gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application
SYNOPSIS
gnome-disks [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks
and block devices.
The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is
invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application
instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit immediately.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--block-device DEVICE
Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).
--block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID]
Shows the "Format Volume" dialog for the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the dialog
transient to the given XID.
--help
Prints a short help text and exits.
