format taking too long

[Pieter 't Hart]

don't forget to close the other threads.

hope you get the format issue solved.
maybe the running fru got in the way?

Yes.
After nearly 24+ hrs, the format process came out with a coninuous beep. And the disk was showing amber LED.
So it was clear that the disk was faulty.
As I have already ran delete disk , I simply took out the disk out of the array and replaced with new one.
The formatting of this new disk completed in 45 minutes.
So thats it.
Thanx Pieter n all once again and yes I would close d old open cases soon.

Regards,
admin
