Dump data buffer used for Mode Select commands?

[ReddyKilowatt]

Hello,

when using sg_format.exe

sg_format --format --size=512 --six -v pd0
TOSHIBA MG08SCA16TA 0129 peripheral_type: disk [0x0]
PROTECT=1
<< supports protection information>>
Unit serial number: 8960A04QF4PG
LU name: 500003999812d235
mode sense (6) cdb: 1a 00 01 00 fc 00
Mode Sense (block descriptor) data, prior to changes:
Mode sense number of blocks maxed out, set longlba
mode sense (10) cdb: 5a 10 01 00 00 00 00 00 fc 00
Mode Sense (block descriptor) data, prior to changes:
<<< longlba flag set (64 bit lba) >>>
Number of blocks=30616322048 [0x720e00000]
Block size=520 [0x208]
mode select (10) cdb: 55 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 22 00
mode select (10):

Is there a way to show the data buffer contents for the Mode Select command?
I've looked through the help html, but sometimes not everything is documented.

The --verbose (-v) can be given multiple times. Each time increases the level of verbosity. Try -vvv in this case and respond if it doesn't give you the data buffer you are looking for.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try this once the format completes.
I was unable to figure out the command sequence to resize the drive to make it much smaller in order that the format wouldn't take so long.
Now, I think the resize could have been done before the format command and independently of changing the sector size to 520 BPS .

I don't understand why --size=520 is rejected, yet --size=512 results in 520 BPS for the Mode Select command.
