Using S.M.A.R.T. Disk Monitor 29

Usage

smartmon-ux -capacity NewBlockSize|0 DeviceList

Send 0 to reset capacity to factory default, or pass it a number of blocks that you wish capacity to be set to. (There

are 2048 blocks in 1 MB, assuming a standard 512-byte block size).

Example

First, we instruct the computer to report the drive size to establish a base-line. The fields in GREEN are of most

interest for this example.

The Seagate disk reports as 300,000,000,000 bytes which corresponds to 2861024 MB. We will now resize the

drive to exactly 204800 blocks which

is exactly 100 MB. The reported capacity on the "Discovered" line is the capacity that the disk reported

before resizing.

D:\>smartmon-ux -capacity 204800 \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE10

Discovered SEAGATE ST3300007FC S/N "3KR0EYV4" on \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE10 [SES] (Not Enabling SMART) [Bus/Port/

ID.LUN=1/2/13.0](286102 MB)

Capacity is 204800 blocks (100 MB)

Now, we issue the standard inquiry command to see what the disk reports. Unless the -capacity command was

rejected by the disk, it will report the new size.
