Subject: [PATCH] Format Unit can take many hours
Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 13:49:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040511114936.GI4828@tpkurt.garloff.de> (raw)

Hi,

the timeout for FORMAT_UNIT should be much longer; I've seen 8hrs
already (75Gig). I've increased the timeout from 2hrs to 12hrs.

Regards,
