Lately, the $dayjob has been busy busy busy… one of our customers had a problem where the more in depth “format” commands (analyze, read) would cause the entire system to freeze for a long time. Not necessarily a good thing when it’s a very integral part of the network. Trouble is, we had a disk that needed to be RMA’d.
How do you find a serial number of a disk if anything more than the first “format” command freezes the system?
