Tingo: created User:Tingo/setblocksize page
2016-09-06T21:39:16Z
<p>created User:Tingo/setblocksize page</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[http://micha.freeshell.org/scsi/ setblocksize] is created by Michael Bauerle. It is a tool to reformat a SCSI disk with new block size.<br />
<br />
setblocksize requires GNU/Linux with sg driver installed - connect the disk to a machine running this OS to reformat it.<br />
<br />
Since my experiments with sg_format (see the [[User:Tingo/sg3 utils|sg3_utils]] page) failed, I decided I had nothing to loose by testing this tool as well.<br />
== Machine info ==<br />
I used an old machine I had lying, instalaaed an Adaptec AVA-2904 SCSI card into it, a hard drive and installed Fedora 24 serve on it.<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release<br />
Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ uname -a<br />
Linux kg-htpc.kg4.no 4.5.5-300.fc24.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 19 13:42:13 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux<br />
== Drive info ==<br />
The drive is the same old Seagate ST31200N that I managed to "brick" with sg_format.<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ dmesg | grep sd<br />
[...]<br />

[ 19.635282] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk<br />
I edited out the info about sda (the os drive) since it is not relevant here<br />
== Compiling setblocksize ==<br />
I had to install both kernel-headers and gcc in F24 (Fedora 24) before I could compile the program. Commands:<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc setblocksize]$ sudo dnf install kernel-headers<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc setblocksize]$ sudo dnf install gcc<br />
after that it was a simple make command to get a executable program<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc setblocksize]$ make all<br />
I tested that the program worked<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc setblocksize]$ ./setblocksize<br />
<br />
setblocksize V0.2<br />
<br />
Checking parameters ...<br />
Parameter error!<br />
Usage: 'setblocksize [-b<Blocksize in Byte>] [-t<Timeout in Minutes>] <sg_device>'<br />
it worked so far.<br />
== Test if setblocksize works on the drive ==<br />
The drive is already "bricked" so it can't be worse.<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ sudo work/setblocksize/setblocksize -b1024 /dev/sg1<br />
<br />
setblocksize V0.2<br />
<br />
Checking parameters ...<br />
Blocksize specified.<br />
Done.<br />
New blocksize: 1024 Bytes<br />
Format timeout: 120 minutes<br />

(the LED on the drive lights up, now I have to wait)<br />
Done.<br />
Check status ... <br />
Command successful.<br />
Close device file ...<br />
Done.<br />
<br />
Exiting ...<br />
The process took about 20 minutes on this drive.<br />
=== check the result ===<br />
I installed sg3_utils on the Fedora machine to figure out if setblocksize had done its job.<br />
==== sg_format ====<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ sudo sg_format /dev/sg1<br />
SEAGATE ST31200N 8008 peripheral_type: disk [0x0]<br />
Mode Sense (block descriptor) data, prior to changes:<br />
Number of blocks=0 [0x0]<br />
Block size=1024 [0x400]<br />
Read Capacity (10) results:<br />
Number of logical blocks=1074591<br />
Logical block size=1024 bytes<br />
No changes made. To format use '--format'. To resize use '--resize'<br />
So sg_format thinks the drive has 1024 byte blocks - good.<br />
==== sg_readcap ====<br />
[tingo@kg-htpc ~]$ sudo sg_readcap /dev/sg1<br />
Read Capacity results:<br />
Last logical block address=1074590 (0x10659e), Number of blocks=1074591<br />
Logical block length=1024 bytes<br />
Hence:<br />
Device size: 1100381184 bytes, 1049.4 MiB, 1.10 GB<br />
sg_readcap also agrees with sg_format.<br />
<br />
So it looks like setblocksize really managed to change the drive.<br />
