SCRATCHVOL
The SCRATCHVOL command places a volume in the SCRATCH state. Although
the data remains on the volume after the command scratches (erases) the
volume, the user can consider the data deleted, unless the UNSCRATCHVOL
command is issued to undo this command. The command is typically used to
reinitialize a volume. The volume must be in the LONER state in order to
be scratched.
