And the list comes thru again!
In less than 5 minutes Marco Benton responded directing me to use scu
format media.
He indicated the online help as he couldn't remember the exact wording of
the command.
Thanks Marco!

I had an AdvFS domain panic last night on a domain on an RZ29B (4.1 GB).
On examination of the error log file I find a CAM SCSI entry that says
" bbr_write: No spares available". I interpret this to mean "bad block
replacement
write: There are no more replacement blocks available."
I presume this means my disk is getting sick. Fortunately this is a
scratch device and
I can work around this issue.
To all you hardware geeks out there:
Is there a way for me to re-format this disk and recover the bad-block
replacement pool?
