Twice in a row I tried to newfs a partition on a Quantum SCSI drive
identified by the kernel as
Sep 12 17:24:21 macbeth /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): \
"QUANTUM XP34550W LXQ1" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
and the system locked up. There is no indication of a problem in
/var/log/messages. I then tried
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd0s1d
newfs /dev/sd0s1d
and everything seems okay. Is it necessary to dd a partition like
this or is this a symptom of another problem? Any ideas?
