<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
<EM>Readall</EM> reads all of the named device in large chunks. It reports about
|
|
blocks that it cannot read. Unlike <EM>diskcheck</EM>, it does not attempt to
|
|
write on the disk, making it safer to use when one is worried about a
|
|
sick system. When the <STRONG>-b</STRONG> flag is given, the output is a shell script
|
|
that calls the <EM>badblocks</EM> program to marked all the bad blocks. Whenever
|
|
installing MINIX, it is wise to run <EM>readall</EM> with the <STRONG>-b</STRONG> flag first on all
|
|
the hard disks.
