Use this command to fast-format and partition a SCSI disk.
Important
• Formatting a disk causes loss of all data on the disk.
• You can divide the disk into as many as 8 partitions when formatting it, but you
cannot set specific partition sizes. The A3000 automatically generates equally sized
partitions.
• The A3000 cannot use partitions larger than 512 megabytes. Be sure to set enough
partitions to keep partition size to 512MB or less.
• This operation applies fast formatting (logical formatting) only. If you need to format
a disk that was previously used with another device, please use the PHYS_FMT (physical
format) command instead ( 254).
FYI
• You cannot use this command to format floppy disks. To format a floppy disk, use the
FD_FMT command page. ( 258)
• If you need to format a specific partition only, use the PART_FMT command ( 256).
• The A3000 uses a proprietary disk format for SCSI disks. The format is compatible
with the Yamaha A7000, but is not recognized by computers or other such devices.
