You don't need to format a drive before putting an image back down with dd.
In fact, dd will totally overwrite any formatting already done as it is a
byte by byte copy.

Subject: [techtalk] creating filesystems
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way in linux to create a ufs filesystem? In /home on
hda, I have an x86 Solaris image that I'd like to dd to hdb, which is
unformatted. I tried mkfs -t ufs, but of course that didn't go over too
well :) Also, any information on the stability of linux ufs write support
would be weighed carefully, as I think I may need to go about this
differently. I'm running Redhat 6.2 with kernel 2.2.16.
Thanks in advance,
Sally
