Hi,


Today I wanted to wipe the all data from one of my disks, so I decided 
to use camcontrol sanitize:


# camcontrol sanitize 12:22:0 -a block
You are about to REMOVE ALL DATA from the following device:
pass16: <ATA TOSHIBA THNSN81Q 6101> Fixed Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device
pass16: Serial Number         96GS10T2TB4V
pass16: 1200.000MB/s transfers, Command Queueing Enabled
Are you SURE you want to do this? (yes/no) yes
Current sanitize timeout is 10800 seconds
Enter new timeout in seconds or press
return to keep the current timeout [10800]
camcontrol: Unexpected CAM status 0xe


Looks like it failed to do what it should. Was it me issuing something 
bad (while it's not obvious to me), some bug in SCSI subsystem or bad 
equipment ?


Thanks.

Eugene.
