Re: Why is formatting a disk so slow?

I am formatting a disk (on a SAN) through Disk Administrator.
I am wondering what is taking soooo long.
The SAN shold be respondibg fairly quickly, but none of the performance
counters seem to indicate a queue or even a "volume" of actions

Can anyone shed any light

How big is the drive? How long do you *think* it should take? What is
your standard of comparison?

The larger the drive, the longer it will take to format. Generally
speaking, if I have to do something like that, I set it off, then find
other things to do for a while.
