Thanks for the input

I thought the SAS worked like a data, just wipe and go… I’m not sure how to get this SAS connected to another computer as it is connected to my server through a SAS card…

Any ideas?

sg_format can restore your disk.

You need to figure out the block layout of the drive and restore a sector map that aligns with the disk.

Start here:

And it bears repeating: LLMs do not think, they generate text from statistical output. If the the topic is advanced or uncommon, errors in output are far more likely.

So don’t be tempted to ask chat gpt for further help on this, if that isn’t clear yet.

  From what I understand, I formatted it with 512, but i needed to do it with 520 and then 512?
  
  sg_format -v --format --size=520 /dev/sda
  
  then
  
  sg_format -v --format --size=512 /dev/sda

    Well, no… You need to find the geometry of your disk.

Yeah, generally it does. Maybe just see if there’s a command to turn DIF off? I’ve never had an issue using a SAS drive just like any other. It’s certainly not anything permanent.

I have never worked with SAS drives. Another way to do what I suggested is to connect the server to a display output and boot a linux ISO with a libe environment.
