I want to edit the wiki article [[Disk formatting]] to clarify the statement "s a general rule,[nb 1] formatting a disk erases most if not all existing data on the disk medium". Normally I would consult the logic manuals :-(
When you allocate an HFS or linear data set, does AMS preformat all of the tracks? When you format a zFS, does that force formatting of all tracks? Can you provide references that I can cite for the answers? Thanks. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
