Silly sg_format question.

[ReVRiN]

Is there any harm in opening the terminal window starting a reformat of and SAS drive using sg_format --format --size=512 -v /dev/XXX and then closing the terminal window? I've been leaving it open, but I worry that if I close it that I might lose the drive due to my stupidity.

 

I brought home an EMC KTN-STL3 enclosure full of 4Tb drives and 3 200 Gb SSD Cache drives that my office was going to crush. So to ensure everything is completely gone I'm sg_formatting them all so they are seen by UNRAID, and then Preclearing them.

Not sure about how the web terminal work (I never use it), but a ssh session open to the server will terminate any command running when the window closes, unless you install and use screen (available in the NerdPack plugin)

NerdPack installed thanks for the advice. I was being lazy using the web terminal because I'm still new to UNRAID.  Looks like I'll be here for a long long time.

What  SAS HBA card are you using on the Unraid server to connect to the KTN-STL3?
