Does anybody know how i can format a drive from 512 to 520 block size?
Found some guides when googeling but non of them seems to really work and some of them is verry "tricky" :(
 
To do the actual change, you can use santools. Depending on the particular drive/HBA you use to try the reblock/reformat the drive may or may not cooperate. With all that said, if you are trying to shoehorn non-manufacturer drives into a manufacturer-locked array such as a Clariion or other storage product YMMV.
 
The Array im trying this with is a Eternus DX60 from Fujitsu.

Im just using a simple SAS-controller to connect the drives.

Does santools work in Windows or something? Can't seem to find a download link for the software :(
