I've gone through Seagates site, and some other googling, does anyone have tips or sites to look at for finding this info? <BR /><BR />Just in case I'm not making myself clear, a Seagate ST31230N has a disk type of RZ26H. Least, that's what I use to get newfs to work with that disk :P<BR /><BR />Thanks!<BR /><BR />CH Tue, 27 Jul 2004 11:01:41 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/need-disk-type/m-p/3342314#M4886 Chris H_3 2004-07-27T11:01:41Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/need-disk-type/m-p/3342315#M4887 Solved.
