I have found the answer. When using [ ] it assumes letters. For numbers you need to use { } with two dots between the numbers. The correct command is: parallel sg_format --format -e ::: /dev/sg{2..126} All drives started the format immidiately.

Hello. Some time ago I learned about the software parallel: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/mdadm-create-raid-0-quick-format.41161/#post-389210 Now I have almost the same goal as previous, but I want to try and do it differently. For setup I have: Dell SFF desktop with...

This did not work either. " Linux cannot read disks formatted with 520-byte sectors. (Nor does Windows.) If you want to use this drive with Linux, you need to reformat it to 512-byte sectors. Instructions to do this are very easy to find on the Internet. "...

The device has no partition number. This seems related to the 520 block size. How to get it working though, I am not even sure is possible.

My progress will be in pictures, as it's on a different machine than what I am on writing here. My first problem was to even get parallel onto my ubuntu 22.04. It kept saying it couldn't find the package, but when searching for this issue all I could find was "Just write apt install parallel"...

This could be it, thank you! The goal is to "remove" the data on all the drives. I write "remove" because I know deleting the partition won't go far, but overwriting the partition once, then deleting it, would make the drive be seen as empty. That's what I actually care about, a drive that's...

So I did understand this wrong. I would have to run: parallel -P 5 mke2fs -t ext4 ::: /dev/sd[d-p]1 If I do understand it correctly this makes an EXT4 partition on sdd to sdp. Now let's say I don't want to run mke2fs, but I would like to empty out the drive, so they have no partition at all...

This could be a game changer. I bet I can use GNU Parallel and then see the full one drive in Gparted, if I understood this correct. I will look into this, thank you!

Hello. I got a big project lined up and would love some input on how to do it. Basically I have around 400 hard drives that I need to test and delete the data from. I don't need sanitization or anything like that, just a basic "quick format" as we know it from Windows. All drives are running...

Jeg forstår ikke noget af det du skriver. Hvorfor skriver du ikke på engelsk, nu hvor forummet er på engelsk, og alle andre skriver på engelsk. Dumme spanioler.....

I have sent you a PM.

Sadly the newest 2GB I have is 4.23.8M. Are you able to share your EOS-4.29.0.2F.swi with me though? Newest I have is 4.27.5M. I have EOS64-4.28.3M.swi if you need a newer EOS64. I also have various other older 64 EOS I can share if you need.

PM sent to AlbertoS.

I have EOS-2GB-4.23.4.2M-INT.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.4M-INT.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.5M-INT.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.6M-INT.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.7.1M.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.8.1M.swi EOS-2GB-4.23.8M.swi

I have 4.21.2.3F and 4.21.9M-INT Not sure what INT is, but maybe it can be usable for you?
