Has any one done a study on the effectiveness of disk formatting
programs? Which formatting program have you found to be most
effective? I have tried formatting disks with the Unix 4.2 format
routine. It took me 13 hours on a 400 mbyte disk. I have also
formatted Eagles using the Emulex format routine which takes 2 1/2
hours. Naturally I prefer bringing down the system for 2 1/2 hours
rather than 13. But is the Emulex format routine any good?
