Nope, the
So basically you are pointing out that there is now a sequencer reject in
linux? Because this used to effect and wipe drives, but you are showing
that Linux now does scsi commands check for execution on the /dev/sdxx?

Well, I ran it, the disk lives. The typescript is appended below.
Interestingly, scsikiller didn't cream the partition table like I
expected. However the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc certainly

This is simply not true. I write to SCSI disk's block 0 all of the time
and never loose data. Obviously, you can lose the partition in
Harvey,
That is not the case Joanne is pointing out.
The SCSI low-level format glue performed by the HOST gets destroyed
If you write to LBA Zero. ATA only suffers the lose of the partition
table and that can be recovered, but SCSI needs that information to know
where everything else is on the
Joanne, since a SCSI drive contains a processor (one of the small
computer systems that are interfacing) it requires that the local
personality data be stored in non-volatile storage someplace.
Most drives used a dedicated area of the drive surface, which was
