NAME
mediainit - initialize disk or cartridge tape media, partition DDS
tape
SYNOPSIS
mediainit [-vr] [-f fmt_optn] [-i interleave] [-p size] pathname
DESCRIPTION
mediainit initializes mass storage media by formatting the media,
writing and reading test patterns to verify media integrity, then
sparing any defective blocks found. This process prepares the disk or
tape for error-free operation. Initialization destroys all existing
user data in the area being initialized.
mediainit can also used for partitioning DDS tape media. See the -p
option below for further details.
