[rescue] Can a drive from an EMC be used an a SunBlade 2000

[stephen price]

Usually all you have to do is change the sector size of the disk from 520 (emc
proprietary) to 512 (normal) & reformat.

sformat (schilly tools) or scu (scsi
command utility) normally work just fine.....

I also read somewhere long ago
that format -e & then rewrite the label as SMI works too - but I've never
tried that.

I've also done it with a pc and it works there also.

steve
