Having the ULD attached during a format operation makes zero sense. NVMe handles formatting and a few other commands differently based on the Commands Supported and Effects Log Page. The SCSI protocol doesn't have the same elaborate reporting scheme but that doesn't mean we couldn't handle disruptive operations similar to what the NVMe driver is doing. -- Martin K.
