If you're talking about checking your media for bad sectors, then you probably want the help of the badblocks(8) utility. Alternatively if you want to verify the integrity of a filesystem, there's e2fsck(8) for ext2 and ext3, xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8) for SGI's XFS, and reiserfsck(8) for ReiserFS. > -- > jezbum > > ============================================================ > Jessie Evangelista<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Developer, SMetrix Inc. ,Philippines > Tel no.: +6328438064 > ============================================================ > > Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, > Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, > Nine for mortal men doomed to die, > One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne. > In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie > > One Ring to rule them all, > One Ring to find them, > One Ring to bring them all, > and in the darkness bind them. > In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie > -- J.R.R. Tolkien I honestly think this is rather long for a signature. As a general rule you want to keep your signature to within three lines deep, excluding the double or triple dash that serves as a delimiter between the message and your signature. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
