Dear managers,
I should help one of our users to install on alpha 200 station running
DU 3.2a
outer Seagate Barrakuda 4 Family ST15150 N/ND drive. The disk was installed
by the
techician from the dealer firm. I can see it at monitor prompt (show dev) as
DK100. After reconfiguring the kernel it appears as rz1.
All my attempts to initialize the disk were unsuccesful.
# disklabel -rw /dev/rrz1c RZxx
write: I/O error
# disklabel -rw /dev/rrz1c RZxx
write: I/O error
# disklabel -w /dev/rrz1c RZxx
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk;
use "disklabel -wr" to install initial label
# newfs /dev/rrz1c
Warning: 1018 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rrz1c: 8388314 sectors in 3699 cylinders of 21 tracks, 108 sectors
4294.8MB in 232 cyl groups (16 c/g, 18.58MB/g, 4288 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

327632, 364032, 400432, 436832, 473232,write error: 509648
wtfs: I/O error
etc...
Question:
Is it hardware problem with the disk, or I do something (or all :-)) wrong.
Please help.
