 /proc/scsi/scsi:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SEAGATE  Model: ST318451LW       Rev: 0003
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IBMAS400 Model: DGVS09U          Rev: S9NA
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02

The one I want to format is the second one. However, scsiinfo does not
work for any of the /dev/sg* devices (it works for /dev/sda), trying
scsiformat /dev/sg1 for blind resulted in:

scsiformat (flushing disk buffers of /dev/sg1): Invalid argument

any other idea?

thanks
