Hi,

The best way to format your jaz disk is :

1) fdisk to rewrite the partition table. There u'd choose what
filesystem you want on your disk
2)mke2fs or mkdosfs or ..., depending on the filesystem you want to use.

This should work but ... I have the same problem as you when i try to
reformat : sense key medium error ... I haven't found a solution yet.

If you get a clue, please let me know.

Eric
