Douglas,
I don't recall if I followed up - "st" in fact did work on ia64.
The FC drives are now 512 byte sector. The "read_capacity" call
to monitor FORMAT_UNIT progress fails even though the FORMAT_UNIT
seems to complete successfully.

I also wrote a script (attached) to identify the block size of each
"sg" device.

In the interest of writing a "generic" tool, can someone decode the
SG command below?

I'm using the 2.4 SG interface and still haven't found any decent
description how the 2.2 SG kernel interface works.

open("/dev/sg26", O_RDWR)               = 7
write(7, "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x24\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0c\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x15\x11\x00\x00\x0c\x00\x00\x00\x00\x08\x04\x2c\x1d\x80\x00\x00\x02\x00", 54) = 54
read(7, "\x24\x00\x00\x00\x24\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00", 36) = 36

(After logging the entry in stlog.txt, "st" sends a FORMAT_UNIT.)

thanks,
grant
